Sorry, I don't have a digital cam, but you can get them at "OBI" and most shops with household equipment.
It's a little package with adhesive felt (German: "selbstklebender Filz") buttons in grey or white of 1 mm height with about twenty
pieces of 5 mm and about 15 pieces of 15 mm in diameter. The price is about 1 EUR for a package.

I just made little holes into them for the screws and used the 15 mm pieces between the housings and the 5 mm pieces for the heads
of the screws.

I'm also going to attach my hardisks by thick rubbers used for camping tents. So they won't transmit vibration and they can swing
freely to avoid shocks.

Yes, but don't think about what will happen with your furniture and your carpet it it will leak ...
