GH4 and 14-140 stabilization issue

I finally got my GH4 superzoom kit. I am mostly very happy with it. Big improvement over GH3.

BUT.

I dont know if the 14-140 mk2 lens is broken but the stabilization in video mode is bad. It smooths big movements but leaves fast "micro jitter" or vibration which looks bad in big screen.

I tested my old 14-42 lens with GH4 and it is very stable. My 100-300 is very stable and calm too. In fact I can shoot handheld more stable video in 300mm than in 14mm with this superzoom. Frame moves a little but no fast vibration. I use 60P 100mbs.

I have seen some examples of fast jitter with other cameras like RX10 and some new cameras has also electronic stabilators maybe for this reason. New Pana FZ1000 has electr. stab too.

Many has said that the new 14-140 superzoom has very good stabilization. Is there anybody with this issue?
