What is THE BEST motion stabilizer?

We use Premiere CS6 and the Warp Stabilizer is just OK. There is still a lot of sway in our shots.

We want to have our shots to absolutely rigidly straight with no swaying whatsoever.

Any idea? Most importantly, the vertical lines all have to be absolutely straight up and down and parallel with each other. Meaning no tilting or rolling.

You should use a tripod for fixed shots, and a steadicam for moving shots, in the first place.
There is no software that will make your footage look steady and clean, if it isn't shot like this.

As for software stabilizers, from my experience, they can work for some particular shots, but not for everything, as sometimes, you will get warping and awkward camera motion while they try to correct shooting mistakes.

Yeah, of course. We have an array of different stabilizers but none of our shots straight from the camera are as good as this guy's. And I haven't seen any other examples of shots from other professionals that even come close to this guy's. He uses a Blackbird and that thing has a small moment of inertia compared to a huge stabilizer, and something that small should not be able to create such solid shots out of the camera without added stabilization either from a gyro or software. There is literally NO sway in these shots, which is abnormal for this glider.
