Well no more than any other part of the chopper. Remember the Camera's are mounted to the same body so they are vibrating in sync with the rest of the chopper.
Helicopters Don't so much fly as beat the air into submission.

If you look at the lake and farm land in the background, it's not shaking. So the whole chopper is very steady.

The photos of Z-10 (and Z-19 in another thread) posted recently are fantastic. I daresay that China has the most attractive attack helicopters in the world.

It's a bit misleading you have to consider the refresh rate of the camera and relative motion. the actual vibration would be shallow but there.

Hope WZ16 will be ready soon, so Z-10 capabilities can be fully achieved

With respect.It seems that the original designing purpose for Z-10 is just "medium-size attack helicopter"?If so at some level,Z-10 might just be a interim beginning of PLA helicopter force,and may not of much development potential(compare to its possible successor)

Buddy, you've got it all wrong!! I believe our friend here was referring to, is the WZ16 engine and not a helicopter. This WZ16 engine is being developed or is already developed to power AC-352.

WZ16 is said to be developed by Safran (French company) in a joint venture production of AC352 with Avicopter in Harbin. The engine is speculated to also become the power plant for Z-10 in the future (if it isn't already incorporated into Z10s).

I have no idea what you are talking about?

I am assuming you know what WZ16 is ? no?
