Troubles with quality of video

Simply not enough light getting to the sensor there. Shutter speed too fast; that should have been double frame rate for smoothest footage; having it right up on 1/350 kinda defeats the purpose of the filter, and suggests your ND was probably too weak for the light conditions. The whole shot is underexposed, but you seem to have set exposure for the sky, but the camera is angled such that you have mostly ground in it ! Always expose for what you're pointing at ! Alas the CGO3+ isn't very forgiving of this, and the punishment it gives us is horrible blurry noisy trees ! 
Man I love Lake Apopka. Used to shoot many timelapse of thunderstorms there. Cant wait to get back down and start shooting again.

Let us know when you're in town, our association has a private dock here.
Will do. We're moving back by the end of the year so I'll be out there more often. This is one of the storms I time-lapsed over looking Lake Apopka. This was part of a film I shot about weather in Florida. Love the storms that form off that Lake due to Lake Breezes.
Indeed. Everything AeroJ said but all is not lost. Underexposed is better than overexposed. You should still be able to save the day by messing around in post and still make a half decent job of it.
Aside from the exposure issue which you know how to fix, the panning was jerky throughout the video. That's not a shutter speed issue. Are you using a "fast" microSD card in the camera? Also, make sure you are producing the video from your editor at the same frame rate as it was shot. Sometimes, speeding up or slowing down at a uneven fraction (eg. 0.66x) or multiple (eg. 1.3x) of the original can cause that.
Yes, picture is beautiful. However, I've noticed that stills pulled from H+ video appear over-sharpened. Running as a video, it's not so noticeable. Has anyone figured out how to change the sharpness setting as we can do with the TH?
As far as YT video quality is concerned, make sure you are producing in one of the formats that YT likes, such as MP4. Also, it takes several hours for YT to get 4k resolution video on line at that resolution. Lower resolutions appear first.

Yes, it can happen, especially if you speed up or slow down clip at some odd fraction. I've experienced this with PowerDirector. Perhaps not a issue with other editors.
