No stabilisation whatsoever. I have over 30 minutes of footage from that shoot and it randomly happens when the wind increases. There are moments where it’s a lot more noticeable than the clip I uploaded. It’s definitely the rolling shutter reacting to the wind.

As I mentioned earlier, the camera was extremely secured on a Manfrotto tripod. I was talking to the camera the whole time and I never noticed it move but after extensive analysis the wind was definitely causing the issue.

This was the second attempt at that particular shot. The previous day I had gone there and shot with the nifty fifty, the footage was horrible because it was a lot windier. I thought that maybe the quality of the lens was causing it. I decided to use the 85mm f/1.8 with no IS. It’s a better lens, not “L” series but a very decent 85mm. A lot better than the 100$ 50mm.

It’s extremely frustrating to see a 3500$ camera have this sort of issue when mounted on an expensive tripod and a strong breeze. In this case it’s just a youtube video I was making but I’ve lost trust to use the 5D in a professional scenario. Still photography aside of course.

My question remains though, could this be my camera that needs fixing or a general issue with the horrible rolling shutter it has when recording 4K?

I forgot to respond about the 4K. Yes I was.

Yes, that is the odd thing. The camera was secure on a tripod. I’ve examined more footage and does coincide with the wind increasing a little. No wind, no rolling shutter.

I was shooting at around 5.6, 1/50, ISO 100, 24fps.

I’ve never experienced this but then again I’ve never used it out in the wind like this. I would have loved to have tried 1080 to see if the problem remained.

It’s very upsetting to think that the camera can’t handle a bit of wind because of the rolling shutter. I do wonder if it’s faulty in some way.
