Mount-borne vibration is a common problem in field recording. The solution is a 
mic suspension. Most windscreen "blimp" systems include a suspension. You can 
make your own with rubber bands.

I don't usually use suspensions in the field because my tripods are on the 
ground and I figure it isn't shaking much. But after I recorded ice booming on 
a frozen lake I realized that I was probably getting conducted sound, too!
