You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
That strikes me as being motion blurr more than vibration. Just because it seems blurred in one direction, not random. What was the shutter speed?
But it could be vibration. This is a very common problem. You need to isolate the camera properly. Do you have any pictures of your setup.
I believe that camera also had image stabilization. That can actually make things worse. Some cameras just don't do well in aerial photography because their OIS system reacts badly to vibes. The pictures turn out worse than non-stabilized cameras on the same mount. You might try turning off OIS if you can.
I've actually never mounted a camera on my quad or heli but I'm nealy 100% sure it's vibration. Not sure how you have it mounted but maybe try to isolate it more from the frame.
