I haven't read the thread referring to the motor(s) as the source of interference, yet...I was wondering why the video quality was poor.

Is the camera mounted close to the motor(s)? If so, the magnetic field of the motor my be affecting the camera's electronics, in which case shielding or simply relocation may correct.

Sailors on USN combatants typically wrap their video cameras with tin foil to shield them from radar, otherwise they don't last very long...and sometimes that's not even enough. I would often "hear" the chirp of various radars in my headset when flying around the battlegroup....some were so characteristic that I could ID the ship by class before seeing it.

This all brings fwd a very good design point - electronics can be highly susceptible to directed electromagnetic energy. Therefore, to ensure reliability, mission packages must be suitably shielded (esp military and HAA ones).
