Well the images I saw on the linked page were heavily distorted pin-cushion.
Not sure why the OP even posted here?
Weight has to be a major issue with these things, the fact they work at all is something to be marvelled at, expecting perfect, distortion free images is optimistic in my view.
On a side note... I understand Hassleblad have been taken over by a drone manufacturer, obviously they wanted to bring the camera design 'in-house'. Perhaps the OP should strap a Hassleblad under his drone?
The general critique of many drones is in common with many small sensor cameras....in low light noise levels become an issue.
They are not, at the moment, going to compare favourably with a DSLR but the sensor specs on Phantom 4 Pro models is comparable with many bridge cameras....1" sensors and 20mp. The lenses are also not Leicas! But as with terrestrial cameras and lenses you can get good and bad versions at most price bands.
I haven't looked at the op links...to be honest I wasn't sure why he posted here when he asked the same question on drone pilot websites. But the image below is from a cheap Mavic drone used by my mate Carl (think you met him testing his D700 some years ago?) Both the sensor size and mp of this drone are inferior to Phantoms and the more upmarket Mavics.
It may not be sharp as you like but don't see any distortion in this example?
