unstabilized
Lacking any support
Unstabilized describes something that has not been made stable or steady, whether physically, chemically, or figuratively.
An unstabilized camera produces shaky footage, while unstabilized fuel or compounds may degrade or react unpredictably.
The term appears frequently in technical contexts—aviation, chemistry, photography—where stabilization is a standard process that has been omitted or not yet applied.
The unstabilized footage was unusable for the documentary.
