Totally agree, thought I was getting an upgrade but the Smooth 5s to me is a downgrade from my previous smooth 4 in terms of stability.
Even though you have a gimbal, and "ninja walk", do you still stabilize your clips before you release a final video? I'm just surprised I still need to stabilize my clips that come from the Smooth 5 even though my phone is on a perfectly balanced gimbal and it has the phone's internal stabilization on. Is it unfair to expect that I should have nearly "drone level stability" from these newer phones with all this great stabilization added to a perfectly balanced gimbal?
