Sideways jitter

[RobW01]

Recently I videoed a project for a local land regeneration group. They weren’t interested in a ‘cinematic’ look—details of the various trees, bushes and shrubs had to be as sharp as possible. So I didn’t use an ND filter. Most of the video is fine for their purpose, but a couple of shots where I was slowly moving in a shallow orbit are jittery. Is that because I didn’t use an ND filter? Or something else? Weather permitting, I can get those shots again. I’m using a Mavic Air 2 in Tripod mode at 25fps with a very fast card.

Will you please upload to Youtube and provide a link so we can see what you are speaking about?

Maybe frame rates between original al video and your processed video are off... more info may help

I’ve noticed that staying stationary and rotating the drone causes a slightly blurred video image. The slower the rotation, the less the blur. Flying forward or backwards while turning doesn’t show the blur nearly as much.
When editing, matching video resolution and frame rate is also important.
