Modular video attachment with vibration dampening

1. A system for securing video equipment to an object, said system comprising:

a gimbal enabled to accommodate at least one type of video equipment;

a dampener acceptor, said dampener acceptor comprising an acceptor ring, a ball comprised of power lines and a shaft, said dampener acceptor having an opening;

a dampener positioned within said opening within said opening of said dampener acceptor;

a base pedestal comprising a shaft opening attachable to said dampener acceptor, wherein said shaft of said dampener acceptor is insertable into said base pedestal;

a quick release replaceable base attached to said base pedestal;

wherein said system is attachable to a vibration causing object by an adaptor base, and wherein said adaptor base is connected to said quick release replaceable base.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dampener is made of a visco-elastic polymer.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dampener is made of an elastic, amorphous substance having a frequency that is lower than the audio frequency bandwidth and wherein said dampener absorbs vibration throughout the audio frequency spectrum from 10 to 30,000 hz.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dampener comprises stacked cylinders that are concentric and uni-axial.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein said stacked cylinders are of varying radii.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said system further comprises a thumbscrew for tightening said gimbal on said dampener acceptor.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said system further comprises an insert to said adaptor base enabled to fit within a substantially round opening in said adaptor base.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein said insert is comprised of a polymer.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein said insert is comprised of rubber.
