APM2.8 Shock Absorber Anti-Vibration Mount
The APM2.8 Shock Absorber Anti-Vibration Mount is a vital upgrade for drone enthusiasts and professional UAV builders using APM or Pixhawk flight controllers. This precision-engineered mount is designed to significantly reduce mechanical vibrations caused by motors and propellers during flight, which often interfere with sensor readings, barometer accuracy, and GPS stability.
Crafted with high-density anti-vibration silicone dampers and a durable yet lightweight frame, this shock absorber ensures stable data acquisition, which is crucial for smooth autonomous flights and accurate telemetry. It prevents noise transfer to onboard IMUs (inertial measurement units), improving flight performance and reducing flight controller misreadings.
This shock absorber is easy to mount between your drone frame and APM2.8, using screws or double-sided tape, depending on your configuration. It’s a universal fit and can also be used with Pixhawk, KK2, and other FCs with minor modifications.
