Product Description

This Shock Absorber Set consists of two glass fiber plates connected by four soft rubber balls. The flight controller is mounted on the upper "floating" plate, while the lower plate is secured to the drone frame. This configuration creates a mechanical low-pass filter that prevents sharp vibrations from reaching the flight controller's IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). It is a lightweight and effective upgrade for any DIY drone build using mid-to-large size frames.

Key Features

  • Superior Vibration Isolation: Effectively absorbs motor-induced noise, which is the primary cause of "jello" in video and erratic flight behavior.

  • Large Mounting Surface: The square plate design accommodates a wide variety of flight controllers, including the larger APM 2.8 and Pixhawk units.

  • Durable Glass Fiber: Unlike plastic mounts, glass fiber does not become brittle over time and provides excellent structural rigidity.

  • Easy Installation: The set comes pre-assembled; simply use double-sided foam tape or nylon screws to attach it to your frame.

  • Lightweight Profile: At only 15 grams, this mount adds negligible weight to your drone while providing a massive boost in flight stability.

Technical Details

  • Color: Typically Black plates with Blue or Black rubber balls.

  • Mounting: Compatible with standard 45x45mm and 30x30mm mounting patterns.

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Wire Tension Warning: For the dampening system to work, the wires connecting to your flight controller must have plenty of slack. If the wires are pulled tight, they will act like guitar strings and transmit vibrations directly to the board, bypassing the rubber balls.

  • Orientation Check: Mount the flight controller exactly in the center of the upper plate. An off-center mass can cause the plate to lean during aggressive maneuvers, potentially confusing the controller's level sensing.

  • Glue the Balls: In some high-vibration setups or hard landings, the rubber balls can pop out of the glass fiber holes. A tiny drop of Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) on the rim of the rubber ball (where it meets the plate) can prevent them from detaching.

  • Adhesive Selection: Use high-quality 3M VHB foam tape to stick your flight controller to the upper plate. Avoid using zip-ties across the top of the controller, as they can compress the damping balls and reduce their effectiveness.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Upper Glass Fiber Plate

  • 1 x Lower Glass Fiber Plate

  • 4 x Rubber Damping Balls

Disclaimer

Ensure the rubber balls are not compressed by other components of your drone build. The "floating" plate must have at least 2-3mm of free movement in all directions to function correctly.
