I just spotted this while going through some footage - not sure if this is normal with some of the Mini cameras but you can see the camera shaking with engine revs if you look at the corners:


Here's the raw version in case it's not so obvious on YT:

@Mtz is this similar to what you were seeing when you first had the 0806?
 
It is similar to what I get with the 0806 if I have the car's aircon on and don't have the CPL on the camera.

On YT it seems to be vibrating on both sides though, normally the side farthest from the mount has far more movement - is that just YT?

If the resonant frequency is close to your idle revs then you are bound to get a bit of vibration - either change your idle revs or add a little weight to the camera to change its resonant frequency - fitting a CPL might sort it, or some Bluetack!
 
It is indeed moving on both sides - I never noticed it with the 0806 or any other cameras although potentially maybe it's because the cameras have been mounted and dismounted that many times that it's getting loose on the mount as the plastic is wearing.

I'll retry with the 0806 and see if it's now got the same problem :)
