Double checked, the Camera unit (red) is not hard-connected to the drone fuselage (blue), but rather attached to the landing gear (green) via a tether system (yellow).

I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning behind this. Is it because the airframe vibrations during flight would interfere with the camera's operation? Or is this some kind of off-the-shelf product modified for temporary use?

Any thought?

It could be the second reason you presented. But it also looks like it's simply just not installed on the drone? But I can't really see why they'd separate it for now just to simply screw it on later. I always thought that for drones launched from vehicles, they'd use those cylindrical coaxial drones we've seen, like the one from VT-4, as they seem to get the job done and are more compact.

It is interesting the coaxial MG is now able to have vertical movement.

Most if not all coaxial guns have vertical movement this on looks like it can go up or down independently from the main cannon or just a longer barrel

There seems to be more space around the coaxial than other designs.

A few more high-resolution images of the new PLAGF IFV, one of which was shared recently but in lower resolution.

A high-resolution image of the PLAAF Airborne IFV. A previous low-resolution version exists on this thread.
