   NOW With Tilt ! Great For HD and DSLR Cameras!   New Wider Design at 5-1/2"
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
  
Get Rid of those Waves / Ripples in your HD videos

Xtra Kit
#.
XEBM-600 with Anti-Vibe Bungee Mount Same as the Xtra XE-600T kit but with the Bungee Anit-Vibe cam mount included.  Designed for the FPV pilot that wants to have another camera on board like an HD or Still camera but also wants to get rid of unwanted vibrations that make for a poor quality picture. This mount is ideal for tall thin HD cameras like Aipteks that have become popular because of their cheap cost and good HD quality. Can be set up for tall, wide or short cameras like the GoPro Hero HD.
  The one major problem with cheaper (under $300) and even more expensive HD cameras are they don't like vibrations along with quick movements. With HD videos this can be seen as waves or rippling.
 The goal was to help remove the unwanted vibrations caused by RC helicopters.
 After 14 months of developing and prototyping different set ups we found the bungee mount worked the best for light weight cameras along with being a cheaper alternative to electronically controlled mounts. We also designed a FPV camera mount (#BCM-600) so when piloting in first person view a pilot can capture photo stills/HD video while still piloting by the standard wireless system.
The other benefit is the FPV camera is attached to the bungee mount allowing for better vibration free video to pilot your heli by. Also a tilting camera tray is now included that allows both cameras to tilt together . Included are 8 small bungee cords for using with cameras and more or less can be used for different camera weights. Extremely rigid design so it will not add to the vibrations and will handle up to 3 lbs of weight. Fits most DSLR and Point & Shoot cameras (max 5-1/2" (15cm width). Light weight at only 10.9 oz (279grams). Easy to set up and install, comes partly assembled. Although the bungee mount and extended gear was designed for the 600 class heli it's also light weight enough for the 500 and 550 class helis (If using on a 500 class heli please email us so we can include a proper size frame mounting bracket).

Set-up Recommendations: 
When using the bungee mount it's best to have the bungees some-what loose at first. Then if there's waves or rippling in the video try tightening the bungees a little at a time until the vibrations are gone from the video. Keeping in mind that your heli is in good flying condition with all blades balanced and proper tracking. The XBEM-600 operates best with a well tuned RC Helicopter.
 
There is also a magic spot of 1800 RPM head speed.

Here's Why:
If your video camera is running at 30 frame per second then:
1800RPM / 60sec = 30 cycles per second
Any vibration at these 1800 RPM translates into 30 vibration per sec or 30 frames per sec!

What this means is that if you put you governor as close as possible to 1800 RPM then any vibration on your heli will be in sync with video camera frame changes and will be not as visible on final video clip.

 One of the applications the use of a bungee anti-vibe mount started is in radio stations and recording studios where it is necessary to remove vibrations that are created from sound waves that are picked up by the boom or mic stand. These sound waves (bass, drums etc..) would cause the microphone to receive vibrations allowing for poor results. Suspending the the mic from the boom with a bungee designed cage removes the un-wanted vibrations giving better regenerated audio. This is the same concept which allows the XEBM-600 to give great performance removing Bad Vibes at a much lower price then other alternatives.
