Gimbal viration isolator

A method to isolate vibrations on a camera, comprising:

• forming an array of holes along the length of first and second dampeners;
• securing first and second support pads to the first and second dampeners, respectively;
• and
• looping a coiled rigid rope through the openings of the first and second dampeners to suspend the camera with minimal vibration pickup, wherein the coiled rigid rope loops through the openings of the first and second dampeners to suspend the camera with minimal vibration pickup and an inner spring orthogonal to the coiled rigid rope.

A system, comprising:

• a gimbal mount for a camera;
• and
• a plurality of suspension devices coupled to the gimbal mount, each suspension device comprising:
• first and second dampeners, each having a plurality of openings along a length of the dampener;
• first and second support pads secured to the first and second dampeners, respectively;
• and
• a coiled rigid rope looping through the openings of the first and second dampeners to suspend the camera with minimal vibration pickup and an inner spring orthogonal to the coiled rigid rope.
