I think when it comes to stabilization on any UAV cam setup many people over look some key factors that play big roles in keeping it stable because you cannot just count solely on the vibration mount. Instead anyone that owns any UAV needs to always remember to make 100% positive that all of their blades have been properly balanced perfectly (& this is not something that anyone should need to send in to have done because if your not capable of doing this then you really need to reevaluate whether you should be even flying an sized UAV) when balancing our blades if any of you come from a RC helicopter or plane background it is not the same with our blades because if you look at our blades the pitch is variable all the way from center to outside tip so if you simply sand off material from the heavy side you'll actually be changing the pitch along with flight characteristics & even if you get it to perfectly balance as soon as you mount it back on your H & go fly you'll feel like it's flying worse than before, the proper way to not alter flight characteristics is to buy some very thin CA Glue & apply a drop of it to the light side then I like to move the blade around before it dries to kind of spread it). If you fly with out of balanced blades then seeing the vibration in your recording is by far the least of your concern cuz they will actually increase the speed of wear & tear on your motors & sooner then later make one or more fail.
Not in any of the 3 cams mentioned above but in a future to be released cam Yuneec will be releasing one that will feature a 1" CMOS Sensor which will not only give much better pics & recording in the day time but one better low light abilities. Personally rather then having Yuneec keep on releasing various cameras I'd much rather see them release their thermal cameras & then one single camera with a large 1" sensor in it that we then could be able to use it similar to the DSLR cameras of today by just pushing a button to release a lens to then be able to mount a new on that meets whatever needs we may have for that set of flight or whatever, just think about it like this in the regular camera world 2 ppl could go out & buy the same Nikon DSLR Camera but say one person is going to use his for the everyday photos & some portraits but the 2nd person is a professional court side basketball photographer. Both have a single camera but then each gets different various sized lenses that suit the purpose that each person needs them for, so subject A could own the stock lens, a portrait lens & maybe a nicer aftermarket all aroundens but subject B bought his camera as the Body only cuz he then bought a 500-1000mm lense for courtside photos, maybe he is into macro also so he buys a decent macro lens. My point being is that no matter who you may be or what your using your H for I think I'd have a consensus of everyone agreeing that they'd rather not have to carry around 3-5 different cameras so they will be ready & would much rather carry one or maybe 2 good cameras along with various lenses, this would ultimately make traveling easier, lighter & your total investment cost would not need to be so high. Because even those of you that do any kind of drone service professionally let me ask, how many times have you gotten paid vs. how many jobs have you had or how many of you have gotten paid full rate on your jobs? Even if you've been getting paid fully rate how close to having you H pay for itself are you ie (the total including any & all aftermarket mods, hop up parts including lenses & filters & any possible repair costs etc. Including any labor fees that you have spent added to the total you paid for your H then subtract the amount of money that you've earned from any & all jobs) then tell me does your final # after doing that math end up as a positive or negative # & if it's a negative # what is it? I only say this because if you truly want to do whatever it is that you do with your H as a professional service & not just a Hobby then the # you came up with out of that equation should be enough if not more to be able to buy a brand new H Pro package at the prices they where going for when you bought your not for the lower prices they are at now, this is figuring that you've downe this professionally for no less than 6 months. Because you have figure in Insurance for you, your rig & liability plus figure in how much wear & tear your bird experiences every time it flies.
