Why does it still shake when shooting video with a stabilizer?

When people walk or exercise, their bodies will shake more or less. The reason why you can't feel these jitters from binocular vision is because the brain will automatically adjust the information received by your eyes, so that you can't feel the picture jitter caused by your own movement.

Back to the photographer's action shooting with a three-axis stabilizer, the bumps caused by walking will drive the jitter from the hand to the stabilizer. Even if it is corrected by the gyro signal conduction in the stabilizer, most of the jitter problems can be offset, but the bumps caused by walking will still make the shooting picture slightly shift up and down.

Matters needing attention in shooting video with stabilizer

No matter how we try to move, the stabilizer is very flexible and very good in smoothness.

For example, in this shot, we move forward very smoothly. But if we look closely, we will find that the picture jumps up and down and is not locked on this axis, so there will be no perfect straight line. Maybe some people prefer the casual and relaxed hand-held shooting feeling of the picture, but if we want to stand up straight and have a more cinematic effect, then we should try our best to tighten our arms, bend our knees and take small steps.
