In some embodiments, the spring suspension arrangement may further include one or more suspension wires attached to the spring(s) and to a stationary structure of the camera.

Embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for in-vehicle optical image stabilization. In one embodiment, the system includes a first motion sensor rigidly attached to a video capture device mounted in a vehicle; a second motion sensor rigidly attached to an object in the vehicle, the object being within the field of view of the video capture device; and a controller. The controller is operatively connected to the first motion sensor, to the second motion sensor, and to a movable optical element in the video capture device. In one aspect, the first sensor provides a first output signal to the controller, the second sensor provides a second output signal to the controller; and the controller provides a compensation signal to the movable element determined by the first and second output signals.
