Here is the super boiled-down camera guts of a *much* bigger patch that I am working on...

I have knocked my head against the wall on this one thing til I had to punt - am sure this is an EZ fix

Long story short - you start the patch, the cube object falls, whilst reporting it's position.

A camera is using the cube position info to ape the cube's downfall [with a offset in the Z]

As the speed of the fall increases so does a perceived jitter/shake. [It gets insano if you leave it running long enough...]

I am assuming that this is a "somehow all de numbers ain't all arriving at the same time" problem.

The strange thing is, the jit.gl.text in the "Altitude Readout" is controlled the exact same way, and suffers no vertical shake/jitter

How can I lock the cam to the cube?
thanks!

Instead of adjusting the camera's position you could create a jit.anim.node for the camera and make the camera node a child of the cube's node.

Still wrapping my head around proper usage of jit.anim.mode - this is very helpful, and I see two more uses for this approach already : )

Absa-perfect !      thank you *very* much.
