Another Westbury Wyvern build

[derekwarner]

Seriously.....you could consider

1. constraining the mobile handset between two angle iron brackets in T slots, with a wooden coffee stirrer at each end of the handset/bracket
2. secure the base of the handset to the table with a few beads of silicone to the machine table

This could kill 2 or more birds at once & provide a stable harm-free method of securing the devices accelerometers without damage to the restraining machine or device

Thanks Derek,
When I get back to trying to measure the vibrations I'll try making some sort of mounting along those lines for the 'phone. Silicone mounting pads might be just the job for keeping the engine in place without stopping it moving completely.

Interesting thoughts on balance. There are all sorts of smartphone clips/clamps available for fitting to tripods.

With a Wyvern build currently underway, I sure would like to see those amended plans, but I cannot see any of the images from this thread.
Does anyone know how I can access these images, or were they externally hosted and long gone?
Any help appreciated.

I can see the YT Video - but NOT the Pictures

The emails only just came through re the missing pictures in this thread. It looks like OneDrive has really messed me up here! The files all still exist and I've started to replace the links, but it will be a long job.

Replacing the pictures didn't take all that long, just did a few posts at a time.

The change to OneDrive embedding URLs has stripped all the pictures from my Mastiff build log and most of them from the Throp compound so they are next for treatment. Bl###y Microsoft!!!
