Anything is possible, but I would suspect some sort of physical damage....more then likely a bent prop?  If it was bad enough could have a delaminated arm....but something is out of aligment or broken causing vibration which manifest itself as "jello" much of the time.  Just my .02 cents worth.....

Bent motor shaft or loose motor or other screws. I agree with SirDude and would say that vibration is the most likely cause, does it sound different?

It can be a bent prop. When they bend, they get unbalanced. That might cause vibrations. I don't think the VTX got damaged, that should not cause jello.

It doesn't sound any different. The top plate cracked in the back and the spacers may be bent. I am waiting on my new top plate and new spacers. When I put the quad on a level surface, it's rocks slightly.

Could that be interfering and transferring vibrations into your cam? (i.e. could the top plate being damaged, be pressing on/touching an odd place. Or the cam mount have loosened/ weakend in some way)

Just trying to add to the brainstorm  Thinking hope this helps or leads to something that does. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks I appreciate all the help. I'm going to replace that plate and spacers first and see if that helps. I think that will fix it all.
