The video looks pretty good for a cell phone, but it looks like it’s using a rolling sensor and I see a little horizontal tearing. Can you do some more tests of some vertical poles and then pan quickly from side to side? If I’m not imagining the issue, the vertical pole will appear to do a wavy hula dance.
i also see that horizontal tearing. they really take the piss
Added a verticals test.
YIKES! The tearing was not my imagination. Those poles are more horizontal than vertical at times. This is a very common problem with webcams.
