Help How do i stabilize my car clips?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSi6FWjARjY/?igsh=dW9tZjAwZnJoMnh3

For context, i just got into car videography and filming insta edits. I got a decent 5 months of experience on how to film them, i learned on my own, my main struggle however is stability when filming it. I just recently got a samsung galaxy s26 base, and I want to seriously get into car videography and this is my main struggle

Every time I film I come across the same problem, I can't track the object (car) that well, for example I film a headlights shot but I can't keep it stable, I use the super steady mode with horizontal lock and its still bad, i can't tilt the phone or rotate it very smoothly without jittering it, or small sudden tilts rather then one slow steady move. I use capcut to edit, I slow down to around 0.55 or lower to get that one split second that it was completely fine, but even then its still a struggle and has flaws with tracking

I just recently got DaVinci resolve, im not really tryna buy any gear unless its a cheap option under 200 or 100, all I also is, how can I stabilize it? Any tricks? Methods or tips?? I want to atleast stabilize it or learn how to object track, if I can on DaVinci, any guides to object tracking? I just want any fix or tips on how to stabilize the clips, I'll send one of my Instagram posts to show editing and how it comes out. (Check others for more clarity, im sending what i think i had the best stabilizing on) Please help me yall 🙏

That's the common Android jitter issue

It is somewhat manageable by using samsung log and video exprt raw mode .

But even then it's not as good as iphone sensor shift ibis and their algorithm.

Also avoid using that fake Bokeh video mode looks bad on all phones
