I flew FPV for the first time today. I put a little AIO camera in the nose of a FT Mini Explorer and used analog Transporter 2 goggles. I had studied video taken with the camera (I was flying LOS) so I could get a sense of what it would be like. Today I took it up twice (with a spotter) and landed it safely twice (what a feeling). There is a lot of interference. I'm guessing most came from my esc? Is noise just the name of the game for analog or is there something I can do to make my analog better? My video attached.
Great job! Takes me back quite a few years to when I first started FPV.
What RX/TX protocol are you using? That almost looks more like interference from your RX/TX than from the ESC. ESC interference is more of a tearing across the whole image and gets worse as power is applied. Keep your AIO as far away from the receiver and antenna as possible. You could try a separate battery/BEC as a test to see if it is coming from the power. The fisheye on the AIO makes it tough to judge altitude, speed, and distance. The more you fly, it will be easier to judge.

I'm using frskyx on a Radiomaster pocket elrs tx and an er5 Rx. I'll take action based on your advice and see what I can learn.

Got a flight before night fall yesterday on my Nano Blitz (plans and video coming soon), all was good until one of my servos stopped working! Somehow I managed to land it in one piece! Turns out it was my RX that glitched or something.
In the process of updating the Stratosurfer to the latest ArduPilot Plane release, switching from FrSky R9 to ELRS Gemini RX, removing bluetooth (or maybe moving it to a different serial port), and finally hooking up the headtracking setup. Old R9 and Bluetooth on the Right. Technically can be replaced by just the ELRS RX on the left Partially obscured by the FPV pod. ELRS Backpack Wifi can be set up to connect to the plane through your TX/RX connection. No wires needed between the TX and tablet/phone/PC. ELRS Backpack is something I am playing with and have working, but doing more reliability testing before enabling it on this plane. ELRS Gemini is Simultaneous Dual-Band (900/2.4Ghz) Capable. It can also run single frequency 900 or 2.4ghz mode.
