"Does it resonate without that carbon chassis(protective ring)? Not sure if you're fighting the right battle - stiffening will only transfer the vibration to the rest of the copter. Your chassis (specifically the protective ring) might be…"

"Use a prop balancer and fine tune your prop. Use perfect tuned motor and motor mounts or tune them your self, most of time a piece of tape enough for balancing them. you can find hundreds pages about how to. "

"Like many others have already said. Square tubes and C bars are terrible when it comes to vibration harmonics. A nice 3K twill weave carbon fiber tube cost a bit, but is worth every penny if you want a vibration free copter."

"Use the tube alone and you will have more thrust and no resonance. Resonance is a very powerful yet subtle phenomena. You know when you got it, like getting poked by a pin!!!"

Motormount to prevent resonance

So i'm working on a prototype helicopter. The motorhount however seems to resonate when the throttle is between 50% and 70%. Here is the video:

 

 

So i made a extra stability-rod, giving the motor mount no room to twist:
