Do you have a link to the Ram mounts you're referring to?

I'm new to the forum but I have been mounting cameras to my motorcycles and helmets for a few years and the red arrows on the pics of two of my motorcycles are where I have mounted them the most of the time. Most of the mounts on the motorcycles have either a tab bolted to a bracket or a u-bolt type clamp either made by me or using some Ram mounts components. The helmet mounts have been all adhesive with VHB 3m tape or epoxied onto the helmet.
The biggest problem that I have had has been vibration dampening to get rid of the "jello effect" when accelerating the engine on most of my motorcycles. A lightweight mount always seems to amplify this problem when mounted to some parts of the motorcycle.
Offering a mount for C3 that can use the Ram mount components would be a good idea in my opinion as the mount system is very well made and is already used by many motorcyclists to mount other items on their bikes.
I can give you more specific information on the mounts that I have used if you'd like.
One of the most effective anti-jello vibration mounts I've seen was made by mounting the camera solidly to an alloy plate to give it more mass. This was then glued to another plate using 4 squishy type earplugs about 2cm tall (pointy bits cut off) in the corners... sort of like a low 4 poster bed with the camera on the top plate. The bottom plate was then solidly fixed to the passenger footpeg.
The squidgy earplug sponge material dampens the vibration really well as it absorbs the movement without "recoil" and the extra mass of the plate helps stabilize it . I haven't tried it myself, but there is a video on YouTube which is impressive.
Just seen the link for the C3 on Techmoan's site http://www.innovv.com/#!the-c3/c18kr looks ideal

BTW, I said the link was on Techmoan's siteBTW, it is not Techmoan's site, it is RockThinking's site.
