65 I "softmount" my stacks any more and they are at least as flexible as your video demonstrates. They all fly great, so I feel you should be fine with the way you have yours. The stack will not move around like that when flying. You will likely be able to really wreck a prop and still stay airborne. Your FC will have a lot less vibration to the gyro to deal with.
Years ago, crashed my Japalura hard enough to sheer all four of the stack mounting standoffs at the frame. The whole stack was being held in place by just the ESC wring...and I did not even realize it till I was home. Flew like five packs that day after the crash. A little movement will not ruin your flight day.

103 it looks ok to me, it will fly but its not truly softmounted.
softmounted would mean a gommet which is on top and on the bottom, best would be even trough-inside of the board holes soft material. you would need these realacc softmount standoffs without any nylon standoff or the other option is a single screw and gommet spacers with nuts between them.
you can use about 14awg wire and take away the silicon, cut it to spacers and use them as softmount spacers between nylon and boards.

0 13-Nov-2021, 06:51 PM (This post was last modified: 13-Nov-2021, 07:46 PM by cablefpv.) I have the opposite problem with the new 7" build I'm doing and was wondering about that.
I'm using the m3x30 screws that came with the frame + small aluminum spacers to keep the PDB off the frame and the rubber "gummies" that came with my FC. It seems to be moving barely at all and certainly a lot less than all of my other freestyle builds.
Given the reputation larger quads have for being "sensitive" to vibration, is that going to be an issue?

118 That's reasonable dampening to me on the FC.
