You may be right, but it seems to get much less severe after I cut the motor for autorotation. And I didn't notice it at all on my F5B Tiger video. Hmmm.
It's definately the CMOS imager being vibrated at a rate different than the shutter, since a CMOS imager captures on a line basis rather than a frame basis.
I posted a video reply... I added a small piece of foam between the back of the sensor and the battery to dampen the vibration. The sensor is mounted in a way that flexes easily. Sorry for the short and less than exciting flight -- 28 degrees in GA this morning and I didn't want to drive to the field.
@bears7777777 Thanks for the suggestion, but the "prop" (rotor blades) are balanced. Helicopters always have some vibrations, no matter how carefully one balances things. This camera is very sensitive to vibrations and needs a better mounting system than I used. :)
nice

Wow, that is definitely a lot better video! I guess it's time to take the camera apart and do some modifications. :)

@JustPlaneChris YOU SHOULD TRY BALANCING THE PROP

Nice inverted shots :-)

It's not interference; it's vibration interacting with the rolling shutter. I got the same thing with planks and helis alike.
