Aiming the forks.

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 got this on Amazon. It does everything I need it to do and versatile so can use it other places.

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

That is surprising. That cage must vibrate much more than my cab. The picture from the camera I have mounted solid with a magnet near the top of my cab provides a rock steady picture. Maybe try to move your mount close to the point where the cage members all intersect and see if that provides a more steady picture.

I don’t know a whole lot about cameras, but is it possible to get one that has some sort of “image stabilization” built into the camera, in order to combat some/most of the “vibration problems”?
I just used a piece of “safety wire” to bypass my seat switch and stand up.
(But I admit that taking "safety advice" from a guy whose screen name is "Runs With Scissors” is welll…….you know…….

I don't know much about cameras either. Mine actually has a jitter preventer but as far as I can tell it only works for hand jitter on still photos. Doesn't do much for videos that I can see. It's to expensive to experiment with different cameras so I have given up trying to make it work.

I nominate that for quote of the day or week
leveling it once you line it up is the slightly harder part. then just raise the arms off the ground a few inches and ease forward.
it takes only a few rounds of practice i would suggest using an empty pallet and getting out to look a few times while you get the hang of it. once you get it down and it clicks your moving stuff around no problem

It's a lot like learning to tilt your bucket to get the desired cutting edge without the loader angle hardware! A little practice while paying attention and you have it.leveling it once you line it up is the slightly harder part. then just raise the arms off the ground a few inches and ease forward.

Does getting out of the cab 26 times count as a few times? Lol. I have uneven dirt and gravel terrain to contend with as we are clearing and grading after timber harvesting this winter so it makes it a bit more challenging. Once I get a level pad down, life should get easier.leveling it once you line it up is the slightly harder part. then just raise the arms off the ground a few inches and ease forward.
