I rode aluminium masts for some years, for me such behavior are total disappointment
.
Considering to switch back to aluminium mast.

No. Well designed Carbon Masts do not do this.

There is not enough carbon on the +/- 45-deg ; to hold
the torsional stability.
You could wrap 1 layer of 3k plain weave carbon , at a 45 ; that would
stiffen it up nicely , without adding a tun of weight.

What mast is that drone?
Sabfoil masts seem very solid. I thought they copied it for SS but apparently not. I've seen some very flexy windfoil masts too, sabfoil windfoil mast is rock solid.

I’m curious what generation that is- they came out with stiffer carbon masts this year.

Agreed, the Cedrus mast is really good. My 2018 Lift mast vibrates more than the video.
