To suppress vibrations & jello in videos taken by very lighweight camera brushless gimbals is a challenge as none of the classical methods are working well. The more weight, the easier it is to manage vibrations. When you combine extreme lightweight gimbal with a CMOS sensor technology, you'll get very prone to the so called "jello" effect.
In this video I share some findings about what works best with my 50 gr 2-axis Mobius gimbal.
The ship itself is my Subonekilo quadcopter project (800g actually with battery) which I blogged about previously. It runs Arducopter on Pixhawk, 9 " props, 3S battery.
ps : no chickens were hurt in the making of this video.

Thank you for your feedback Hugues !
Cool!! Hugues, I'm going to try, Thank's; I never can take good videos with the Mobius.
@Cala,
Seeing the little room you have on the sides, but maybe enough room in height, I would suggest you to try this method : use four pieces of soft silicon tube (you find it in rc stores as fuel tubes or you could use medical latex tube) than connect as shown on the picture:
I can move the wires, they aren't definitively installed.
Cala, maybe there is enough space to make a very small wire rope damper like this one, made with motor mounts ?:
Do you have other pictures showing what space is available ?
The problem in the racer is space, and that the mobius have to point upper, one thing I think is to put the sensor outside with a wire, put the rest of the camera on one side or under the frame and dampen only the sensor but more lightweight, more problem :( ; I have to consider to remove the sdcard and recharge mobius batt too, not easy with this little babies.
Spoiled chicken...);
@Digital, it is actually a chicken's house
