RE: the prefect platform for aerial photography
Guys,
If JP has a solid signal but a bad image the first thing that comes to my mind is the surface of his camera's objective lens. One of the reasons that great big lenses acquire such good images is that a minor blemish on the glass only covers a small fraction of the entire surface capturing the light. The smaller diameter the lens the more perfect it has to be. Steve, your suggestion of comparing quality when the distance between tx/rx varies is the path I would take after verifying the integrity of the camera lens. JP, do you have a second camera to verify that your problem is in the electronics and not in the camera? I have just returned from a business trip that did not include much sleep. That is all I can think of at the moment.
