image shudder when shooting 60i video with Lumix Gh2

Recently when shooting HD video with the 14-140 lens with O.I.S. stabilizer engaged, the image will suddenly and very momentarily jerk as if the camera has been jostled. This happens pretty consistently after the camera has been rolling for about a minute and a half. It only happens once in a sequence but it happens, of course, at the most crucial point. I am shooting from a tripod in windy conditions and use image stabilizer to counteract the wind. Has anyone out there experienced similar issues? Or can anyone guess what may be causing this?
 
That jerk could be the OIS doing its thing. Turn OIS off when you're using a tripod, Panasonic recommends OIS for handheld shots only. If your tripod gets jostled by wind, you may need to weigh it down or just get a more substantial tripod.
