I don't have a drawn out plan for it. I would recommend avoiding the cables altogether and simply building a heavy, rigid, and stationary mounting surface instead.

I haven't yet! I need to. The biggest thing affecting autofocus is usually weak lighting on the subject, which causes contrast issues with the background. Plus, the ptz settings for focus zones might need to be looked at. Is your issue when it's zoomed in, I assume? When you're zoomed in any vibrations are amplified, so it could be that you're losing focus by losing track of the subject when the lens is literally moving around from shakes. The zoom on a ptz also worsens its ability to capture light because it has a variable aperture, which leads to the contrast issue again, which is solved with more light. The standard L bracket is not ideal because it is flimsy. Start with a more rigid bracket of any kind.

@@ivan.bucher I just went back and looked at the video to try to assess. The shake appears to be in time with the music - my pastor thought from the subwoofers. But out of several songs we played yesterday, only one seems to have caused the shaking. More investigation is needed, but I'd love to have a pic of your thicker mount. I thought the included one was sturdy, but now I'm questioning that.

Ya that's a tough one. I think I've learned that getting everything as rigid as possible is 95% of the solution. The standard L bracket actually amplifies any vibrations, so fixing that first is key.

Thanks. Well, we've moved on from the solution in this video, and I'm overdue for sharing the update. Long story short, we have a 3/16ths inch steel L bracket holding two inverted ptz cameras side by side. 98% of the vibration reduction came from this stiffer bracket. So I would find a cnc machinist who can make a custom mount for your needs. As far as micro vibrations like yours (though I would need more details about your setup), I would try to have a larger bracket that spans more of your wall. I would also consider buying the special rubber made for this application. I forget the name now... But you can find it in sheets online.

Sometime in January yes!

We actually just installed a new custom bracket last week. It uses 3/16" steel that a congregant donated, who also cut it out using his cnc machine and welded too. I plan to make an updated part 2 video when I get the chance!

That's a good idea! I'd like to see a picture of that. I have a new mount in the works and will post a follow-up video soon

I agree. @Ivan Bulcher Your applying mobile vibration tech, which is less weight is better. You can afford added weight, they can not. Interesting video and results, keep it up.

You don't have to be sorry. Just tell me your thoughts please

Not yet, but inverted may be worth testing too since the cables are now sagging a bit, which affects my zero points. We have a guy who will machine a stiffer L mount, so I plan to try that next. I did add a second camera to this setup and when one camera moves fast it makes the other one shake. I'll update this video once I make changes.
