Undulations like on a boat

The preview undulates like waves in the ocean. Using the back camera. Motion detection always triggers immediately. The video captured is also undulating. Turning off autofocus has no effect. I checked and if I shoot a video on this device using Apples native camera app it is perfect. Please help, and I will revise this rating.

Very good, small remark

Excellent apps! I just cannot find the « power save » option button on the Motion Sensor app, I have it on the Cambush app.
It is mentioned in the « new features » list though?
Thank you!
