Jittery video footage when panning with Iphone 15 Pro Max

I have recently purchased the Iphone 15 Pro Max, but I have an issue with the camera.

Whenever filiming in video mode, as soon as I move the camera sidewise (i.e. panning) I get a kind of micro-jitters which ruins the footage.

I have the last version of iOS 17.4.1 installed

I first thought it was a stabilization or frame rates issue, but it happens at any frame rate 24 fps, 25fps and 60 fps. I also tried to use a gimbal with stabilization on and off and it still happens.

When I am panning it's like the phone is lagging behind, no matter how slow I pan.

Any idea how I can fix this?

be aware that the iPhone 15 pro max cameras have never been used on any other phone and are still in the development stage. there will, of course, be some bugs with their new sensor technology. keep updating your phone to the latest software.

Well, I understand that certain functions may have a bug or two but I would expect a working camera on such an expensive phone, particularly if they advertise that it could replace even the DSLRs... And this issue is very evident.

All the footage I took in my last trip where I moved the phone to pan, even slightly and slowly, are completely ruined. If this is really a development issue I guess more people would be complaining about it.

Hence I am still not sure if I have misconfigured something but I can't think of anything else...
