Can't use this mount that came from the $100 donation tier on the Extralife fundraiser because of the violent camera shake. Recorded a video to demonstrate:
That's how mounts work. You got a freebie mount...it's going to be annoying to ride. The cheaper the mount, the more annoying the jitter. Been that way forever. Buy an expensive mount or do progreesion for a reward mount (or buy one of the expensive versions of the expansion) and there's very little movement, if any at all. Or you can get the hoverboard from Overseer achievements and there's zero jitter at all.
Or the free one from Anniversary has no jitter- just smooth sailing and fast to obtain, just pick up drops others have left to rot Anniversary Task: Maximum Capacity
There's a camera bone on the mount that doesn't move. The player when it's on a mount, it should be using the mount camera. It's not working. I have submitted a bug to code. The player's camera which is attached to his head, is inheriting the movement from the mount.
So the mount camera attaches to the root of the mount. The mount is attached to the root. When you are running around as a player or on a mount, the root joint is what is moving around the environment. You are sort of on a treadmill while the root is moving. The mount and player move side to side or up and down above the root. So the mount camera and player cameras only will move in the direction of your keyboard input. The side to side of the mount movement, should not be effecting the camera movement since it is attached to the root. What is happening here, The player is attaching to the saddle joint of the mount, which is attaching to the mount base joint (which translates and rotates) and then that attaches to the root joint. If the mount camera were working, you wouldn't get the side to side motion, but since its not and is still using the Player camera joint you are getting - mount base joint , moving, saddle joint attached to base joint moving, player root joint attached to saddle moving, player cam joint attached to player head moving.
This isn't true though because theres alot of mounts in the store that are also super jiggly. In fact, the number of mounts that are smooth are incredibly rare, and many of them are free class abilities (knight mounts).
There are less jiggly mounts, and that is because the mount's animation is very limited or nonexistent in it's side to side motion.
I don't mind the jiggly ones really, but some of them got some strange hip action going on. Its indecent!
