1. An aerial vehicle comprising:
a housing;
an image capture assembly arranged proximate to a front end of the housing; and
an image stabilization assembly configured to isolate the image capture assembly from vibration of the housing using an elongated arm weighted to counterbalance a mass of components of the image capture assembly,
wherein the elongated arm extends into an interior space of the housing from the image capture assembly toward a back end of the housing.
