I have to disagree. I did some A/B tests when I built my mount and found that NOT using anything between the clamp and the harness bar made the image more stable. The padding actually increased the vibrations in the image. However, it does protect the surface of the harness bar from marring.

Unless you are using something like a gimble just mount the camera in as solid a manner as possible. Most video cameras have image stabilization that helps.
