Rolling Shutter Wobble
Cameras with CMOS sensors read rows one after another, so fast motion bends vertical lines and shakes jello-like. It is a familiar artifact in phone and drone video.

- 03Row-by-row lag
Why it happens
The sensor reads each row at a slightly later time, so a moving camera or subject shifts progressively from top to bottom, shearing and wobbling the frame.
