LOL, I gave up on mounts for the time being. Looks like you could pull the tractor out with that when you are done.

Added a third beam. The most part of the bouncing seems to be gone. Gonna hold off on painting this time to make sure I have it finalized.

Got some good wheelies in this vid. Camera shake is mostly eliminated from the pole it seems, still a bit of side to side with the adhesive mount, but it's not that bad.

Footage looks as good as anyone else's pole camera with a solid mount. Only 2 things I can think of to help with any shakes. Make one of those fancy springy mounts or make MUTT hover. LOL.

And the award for best hair during a romp video goes to... RichieRichOverdrive cheers

I didn't really notice the camera shaking at all. I think your mount is fine. Nice wheelies in that video too.

Subject: Re: Craftsman GT3000 "MUTT" Part I March 7th 2018, 7:47 am

Lmao on the hair comment.

Wheelies are fun when they're on purpose...sometimes not when you don't intend to. Youd think all the junk I added towards the front woukd keep her down, but I guess not. Maybe a nice big winch would help keep the front end down...

What are you thinking about for a filter on your snorkel Rich? Like a little round one like I had? That would probably look pretty neat.

Well fair enough haha. Are you gonna close off the holes in the blower shroud that are supposed to blow air into air box? I alwalys wondered if it would be better to close them off if you did a custom intake so it maybe traps the cold air in the shroud better.

Also makes it a little less easy for mice and stuff to get it there and build a nice nest, haha. I've been there before.

I know my input bearings aren't the greatest, but I'm not sure they'd be the problem. Maybe when I get some money I'll pick up a new bearing and some Lucas oil stabilizer or something.

Would thicker oil quiet em down any?

Subject: Re: Craftsman GT3000 "MUTT" Part I March 7th 2018, 11:59 am

I think they will be noisy any way you put it. I noticed in my test video's how noisy it was. I guess you would need a camera with a remote Mic at another location to clean it up.

That's a good idea. Instead of that air going out the side of the blower shroud and going nowhere, it could be put to better use by blowing more air over the head to help keep it cool.
