Video stabilization in post? Spark video looks choppy/shakey

[misterpoopypants]

The lack of a pan axis motor seems to make Spark's video much choppier than other dji drones. Anyone know if stabilization in post would be enough to fix this?

All the videos online or spark seems to suffer from pan axis being jerky. Ideas?

Also what editors do you guys use? I use kdenlive mostly with some sony vegas but I have never tried stabilizing post footages.

Surprisingly none of the videos I've seen have struck me as being shaky (and I'm picky). So most likely a piece of cake if any since I've definitely stabilied very noticeably shaky footage in the past. With Final Cut Pro usually.

Here is a dropbox movie - a couple cuts. Download it and play it local and see if it seems choppy. I haven't noticed anything but, then again, I haven't looked close...too busy flying a review model.

is shakey to me. As you can see it just follows the drone's body.

looks good but still, the pan has bumpy start stops.

i'm betting it has more to do with the operator not having physical sticks. virtual sticks aren't as easy to manipulate in a smooth manner.
