Shaky Time Lapse

[Paul Harvey]

What could cause this? It wasn't windy and I wasn't even holding the controller. It doesn't always do it, but it does often enough to be a PITA!

Any ideas?

I gave up doing time lapses with a drone several years ago and I documented it here on the forum. I did numerous sunsets in calm weather and no winds at a low altitude (100 feet) and got very unstable footage despite stabilization in post. I was told that it imposssible to erect a tripod in the sky and that the drone always moves a small amount. See my thread from Jan. 17,2025 and this video. Click this link
