      Shooting at 60fps and slow it to 24fps massively improves stabilization. Also used zhiyun smooth q2 gimbal which is pocket sized

      It might sound simple, but when panning isolate and rotate at the hips. Then start your shot with your body twisted and let it naturally come back to the neutral position (facing forward with knees and hips squared-up). Often times untwisting is a smoother movement than twisting 'into' to movement (if that makes sense.)
