That device helps only to decrease unintentional camera movements induced by operator. In other words it is for people with shaking hands and not for environments in which whole operator (or just camera) is shaken by some other external force.

Hmmm, for some reason that very sensible observation escaped me when I posted that. Oh well, good website anyway.

Good post Proton.

I thought I might add a comment or two about the shaking in the video which seems to be creating a bit of controversy.

I think both sides of the argument have valid points.

There is bound to be a lot of shaking and vibration in any warbird with those massive brutes of engines along with aerobatic maneuvers in turbulent air ( although sadly I've not been lucky enough to experience that for real ) .

On the other hand the human brain does an amazing job at filtering out and editing what we see from what our eyes actually see.

The point I noticed though, was that in the video even when there was quite a bit of shaking going on, the gunsight didn't seem to be shaking all that much. I reckon I could still have been able to line up the sight on a target even through all that buffeting . I'm not saying I would've been able to hit anything LOL, but the sight wasn't bouncing about that much that you couldn't look though it.
Run the video again but concentrate on the crosshairs to see what I mean. The sight does disappear a few times but that seems to be more like the pilots head moving due to pulling G's than due to shaking.

Another point is that right at the end of the video the engine rpm drops. Has the engine shut down ? Was a lot of the vibration coming from the ( rough running ? ) engine rather than turbulence ?

Just adding my tuppence worth.

You know that the cross hairs are a reflected image right? Here's a German Revi site
