A passive stabilization solution for camera embedded onboard small planes

Embedded camera is becoming democratized in personal uses like sport. Thus the need for a stabilized video leads to a development of dedicated stabilized systems. However, in professional uses like video protection, stabilization solutions are not yet common. Moreover such a system needs to fit application specific requirements in term of size, weight, amplitude and frequency response. We present a passive solution for a specific use of surveillance cameras embedded onboard small airplanes. We use wire-rope isolators to isolate the camera from the body of the aircraft. Measurements of the vibrations onboard a ultralight are shown and the effectiveness of the presented solution is discussed.
