FS7: Bounce when tilting - Padding under the shoulder pad on tripod?

Testing my brand new FS7 and it seems to shake a bit on fast tilt movements... seem like jamming something under the shoulder mount to fill the space between the tripod plate and the back of the camera is necessary. I put the case to my Gerber multitool there, and clicked the quick release plate in so the padding was tight, and tripod moves feel better.

My camera is going to live on the zacuto baseplate, so I'll need to find something to put in there.

Anyone else experience this?

Yep. I removed my shoulder pad and 3D printed a solid plastic insert that essentially gives the FS7 a nice deep footprint. It just has way too small of a foot to put an extension unit + v-mount battery on. Before I made the 3D print, the weight on the back actually made the lens lift up away from my follow focus.
