Description
**TPU damping pads** used to reduce wind-induced vibration on my sliding-window camera mount.
TPU parts:
1. **TPU Pocket Insert**
- Fits into the existing top compression pocket on the mount
- Adds damping and preload at the window contact point
- Designed to be slightly thinner than the pocket depth so it compresses when installed
2. **TPU Long Damping Strip**
- Mounts under the long horizontal section of the camera arm
- Acts as a narrow damping spine rather than a full-width rubber layer
- Reduces oscillation without turning the arm into a spring
