3 PCS Anti-Vibration Suppression Pads Diameter 7.6cm(3") Telescope Mounts
Brand: Pocnsen
These anti-vibration pucks are made of a hard outer shell, a soft (silicon like) middle layer, and a hard pocket for your tripod legs to rest on that are supported by the inner vibration dampening layer.
I was surprised at how immediate and obvious the improvement was when using the pads (between my tripod legs and the brick pavers I normally set up on).
I shot a video of my telescope zoomed into a far away power pole, and the difference between having the pads and not was immediately visibly noticeable in the resulting footage. When I jumped up and down next to my telescope tripod, the video shook less when it was resting on the pads. Even when the telescope was just sitting there without me jumping around, I could see that the view was vibrating faintly without the pads and much more solid with them.
I definitely recommend them as an inexpensive way to reduce vibration of your telescope.

I have owned a set of these for years but stopped using them mainly cause I forgot I had them. My current scope is a Celestron CPC 925 which is pretty heavy. Thanks for the video and taking the time to do a test like this. I probably start using them again from now on. thanks again! Wishing you clear skies.
