RED drive shock mount

[JD Holloway]

Very nice.
I think drop shocks are less of a concern then vibration in most applications. Still, a dropped camera is a very ugly animal indeed and anything to prevent lost media is crucial.
This mounting system must have self defeating harmonics and low frequency resonance overall to minimise vibration energy transfering to the deck heads.

Did you write the post ibn zeal and pure enthusiasm? Cause that helps in posting.

So, how's orange county these days? Been a while since I was back in the "hood".

I dont remember I defiantly like the anti shock case idea. I might build a special housing for my hard drive and batteries.. like a little film magazine.

First off, I think the "horses for courses" mantra holds in most cases. If you need a long load in a high vibration situation I would just suggest renting a RedRAM unit for that day(s).

My plan is to use RedDrives in the beginning since they offer very long recording times at very reasonable cost. As the various Solid State solutions improve in availability and cost (and I've paid off the cam) I'll jump in happily.

I did this years ago in my PC, here's what I used:

The concept is definitely sound, it just needs to be adapted with a RedDrive customised mount of some sort. HTH
