I had a new cam bracket made for my Sporasub One Air that might be of interest to others.

The first one I made was positioned in between the reel and the dovetail but that part of the gun is pretty wobbly and the resulting footage ended up the same.

So, after thinking about it a lot and after having had the handle taken apart I found that I could screw a bracket onto the handle much more securely.
Granted, the cam is further back and I had to drill one hole in the handle, but this is the better solution. Yes, it surely has voided warranty as well;-).

Actually, there is no need to extend the hole to Ø3mm - just make sure you get a Ø2mm bolt that is long enough. That was the issue I had and as I was pressed for time I had to resort to the Ø3mm solution.
You could also tap the angled steel plate instead of using nuts. I only thought about that afterwards.

Unfortunately, I only had the gun out for one swim after the modification, only shot it once and didn't even have a cam on the bracket.
But I am 100% the wobbling is gone. It is sturdier than the one I beefed up for my Seac and that one stopped the wobbling as well.
