I used duct tape to eliminate the vibration on my Walkera gimbal. A cheap fix that can probably be applied to many other gimbals. I will be experimenting a little more with this.

 
You got weird ways of doing things. You should have tried inserting foam or earplugs into each ball then adjusting/trimming the amount till you had the proper stiffness. If you wanted to try different balls you should have replaced every original ball, not just shove one in some random location. And finally, different types of balls are made to suit various needs.

Well yeah, but it worked :-) the idea wasn't to rebuild the cheap gimbal but to modify it slightly to make it work better. We Are Men dammit. We don't mail order balls :-) we use the balls we got, and we use duct tape.

If it moves but shouldn't reach for some duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should reach for some WD-40. Words to live by.
