Ah, well try using the image stabilizer in Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 or CS6 if all else fails.

Good luck !

If it’s the one with the pistol grip then it very well could be from hand shakes, or even the head it self. Ideally you’d want a fluid head and a panning handle so the vibrations would be minimal and the longer lever would give you smooth motion. Is this is the pistol grip model, try fashioning a handle, probably easiest with a metal tube

Thanks for your reply. The tripod has a fluid head and pan handle. Maybe the shakiness is just a product of the speed of the motion and the focal distance….
