Hi guys, I need some help figuring out what is going on with my video feed. So I thought it was just electrical noise, but after doing some troubleshooting it still hasn't resolved my problem although the quality of the video is a lot better than what it was. 
Anyway, on with the issue: whenever I fly my 7in analog quad, I get a "distortion wave" on my screen. It's almost like jello, but it's definitely not caused by vibration since it happens even when the motors aren't spinning. The strangest part is that it is only in my goggles. It doesn't show up on my DVR and it's also based on the angle of the quad. So if I am pitched down, it disappears, but if I am horizontal, it shows up at the top of the screen and if I pitch up, it moves lower, so it's basically a distorted horizontal line that stays at the same spot. I can't find anyone that has ever talked about this issue. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I have tried different channels and I can't tell if it's the placebo effect or not, but sometimes it seems better. I've jiggled my vtx antennas and it doesn't do anything, just the pitch of the quad. Moving my head around doesn't affect it either. I am using a TBS unify pro32 HV, foxeer CAT 2 camera, and bardwell f7 board with the iflight 50A 4 in 1 esc.

ohh and I'm using an HDO2, tbs fusion, and an immersionRC powerplay DVR.

Just flew a maiden voyage with my 3" Armattan Tadpole. I have the same issue, except my stack is clocked 90 degrees, so the distortion is affected by roll instead of pitch. The distortion is present when the quad is near level regardless of arm state or motors spinning. If I roll the quad in either direction, the distortion disappears at around 20 degrees and comes back as it approaches level. Changed camera, no effect, disabled accelerometer in Betaflight, also no effect. I'm running the GEPRC stable F411 micro 16x16 stack and a Caddx Ant camera.I would very much like to know if you have resolved the issue.

It turns out the problem was my flight controller. I swapped it out with a different one and the problem went away. I have no idea what the issue is within the flight controller and whether or not it can be fixed though.

Were you able to determine the issue? I believe have the same or similar setup, 3" Armattan Tadpole with  iFlight SucceX Micro F4 15A ESC 16x16 stack, RushFPV Tiny Tank VTX and a Caddx Ant Camera. I see the issue on pitch but it sounds very similar.

Replying to myself in case anyone else stumbles upon this. 
I did some testing with a known good camera and a new VTX and found that the distortion is still occurring, this all points to the flight controller. Since I have no other flight controller to test with so im hoping Atmattan support will work with me to get a new one.

Example video of what I'm seeing, this is with all the stock components.

Out of interest, did you try wiring the camera direct to the VTX, thus bypassing the FC to see if you still get the same behaviour? Also, in Betaflight Configurator make sure you always have the camera format explicitly set to NTSC or PAL and not the AUTO setting (in the OSD tab) as that is sometimes known to cause anomalies.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried directly connecting the video to the VTX and the distortion does not appear (video if interested ), I'm really thinking something is going on with the FC. 
I also checked the settings on BetaFlight and NTSC was selected not AUTO so that should be ok.
Sending this proof off to Armattan as well.

Hi there, I am having a similar issue and I was wondering if there was a fix that did not require soldering? I am still waiting to get a soldering iron, so I can only currently change plug n play issues like the camera or VTX antenna

If your camera and VTX both have connectors on then you might be able to get a wiring harness that you can connect between the two with some re-pinning of connectors, but if you don't already have a suitable wiring harness and you already have a soldering iron on order then you are going to get delivery of that before a wiring harness arrives. So it's probably just best to wait for the soldering iron to arrive.
