Then you have to manually jockey the hor and vert holds to hang onto the pic. See if the hula'ing is still present. If it is, then the ripple is not originating in the video chain but in the sweep area.

Per your suggestion I tried this. First video is with that cap disconnected...

Comparing a few times, no cap connect vs connected, there actually doesn't seem to be much difference other than when the cap isn't connected there's less vertical stability.
