I for the life of me can't find the video as usual, but it uses simple holes in the base for mounting not elongated. Fins travelling from the bottom to the top and vary for form and cut off triangle (to prevent single resonance). and also does not use extended bolts for the mount cap (again resonance). Maybe someone else can find it.
The video was shown by an mount designer (can't remember the name) but mentioned in the video he knew that he was not going to worry about the DIY market which is the primary reason for creating the video.

That sounds interesting. I would like to see the video.
I wonder if you could use carbon fibre? I have a carbon fibre pushbike it is extremely strong and light. It is much better to ride on the road than a steel frame. It absorbs a huge amount of vibration, and still transfers a lot of power to the wheels. It is very stiff.
I would say it would be rather expensive to build a carbon pier. An engineer would have a good idea about the pros and cons of carbon fibre.
