I experienced a peculiar behavior with my Mavic Air when in active track.  Whenever I track an object that goes faster than 15 mph the craft will start to wobble or shake.  It has no problem tracking or keeping up with the object, and the camera does a great job smoothing out the footage, but the wobble has happended twice now and it is rather violent.  This happened yesterday, after the latest update, and I was tracking a vehicle at about 100 feet directly overhead.  I can clearly see it in the video that I have taken and will post it when I have a chance.  In the meantime, has anyone else experienced this?  I am aware of the shaking that occurs in cold weather, and the temps yesterday was around 32 degrees or 0c.  Otherwise, the drone has been flying flawlessly.

Does the wobble continue or does it get better when holding the speed for longer?

The farther it goes the more violent it seems to get.  I hit the stop button both times it happened for fear it would go out of control.  When I track an object walking or going slow it has no problems at all.  It seems so far to be related to the speed of the object being tracked.  Both times the vehicle was traveling 15 to 20 mph.

I will upload the video as soon as I get home from work.  Its amazing how smooth the video is with all the shaking and wobbling going on.

Just a shot in the dark: can you try to remove the SD card and just use the internal memory?
I'm asking this because we already heard of other (e.g. gimbal) sd card related issues on this forum and my (not so educated) guess is that this is something similar because the tracking algorithm does interface the SD card to swap data.
I think it is worth a try...

I know the video doesn't show much, as the footage looks smooth, but if you could have seen the drone it looked like it was about to shake itself apart.  It just goes to show how well the camera works with all that shaking.  I will try to recreate the conditions this weekend but will have another camera pointed at the drone itself.
