Aiming the forks.

[Dustball]

What kind of cameras are you guys using ? I have made videos with my Panasonic DMC-ZS100 mounted on the ROPS while doing grapple work or snow plowing and the vibration makes the videos barely viewable.

Watch the video linked in post #2.

I did - I was disappointed he didn't show the camera being used mounted on the forks where you could see how it handled vibration. Or maybe I missed some thing. He seemed more excited about the separation distance when you only need 10' feet in use ???

Here is a video I made using my FrostBite grapple to clear a triple pine blowdown off a tractor road which shows why I am wondering about vibration.

How was the camera mounted? Vibration is mostly do to the type of mount and where on the tractor the camera is mounted. Mount it on the hood sheet metal above the engine and you will get plenty of vibration.

I have a cage with limb risers on my M5640. I have a vibration damper mount for the camera.

The camera was mounted over head center of the cross piece.

I have tried all kinds of mounts - even made a couple different vibration dampers trying to tune out the vibration. Some better than others but none good. Any help is welcome !!

no cameras needed tilt the forks up so you see the tips line it all up and flatten them then raise the arms a scootch and roll forward pick up the load.

dont need to stand or do contortions or get out
