I have a very good idea what remote sensor data looks like from a number of sensing systems. Good enough that I don't think it is appropriate to discuss in a public forum.

Putting that aside, some of the video shown, which BTW appears to be from multiple cameras, with switch transients visible on the output video, and different viewpoint vectors, appears to be from closer than "miles away".

Most helicopter based sensor pods have good enough vibration isolation and image stabilization that the helicopter vibration has a minimal effect on the images. You may be thinking of the difficulty in using hand held or weapon mounted imaging systems where the vibration of the helicopter is noticeable.

Here is a typical commercial system, not anywhere near the level of a good military sensing pod. If I was going to record a video from a helicopter I'd use one of these or something like it. Take a look at the zoom out at 7 seconds. Not much vibration. If I was tasked with imaging in the situation our Navy is in I'd use a different sensor pod, like the ones they have.
