the digital "wobble"

Software can correct rolling shutter. As long as it's a pan, and not something bouncing or jarring the camera, it should correct really easily.

Rolling shutter is a hardware issue. There's no way to inherently correct it, although there are ways to lessen its effects. Limiting pans and camera movement helps a lot. Shooting lower resolution may also help.
 
lol, I only know the word 'wobble' in the context of satellite stabilization (once upon a time I was studying aerospace engineering).
It's called 'jello effect' caused by rolling shutter.
The rolling shutter just happens because of how CMOS works.
The amount differs from camera model to camera model.
A 5DmkII has a lot of it. More expensive cameras like RED, Phantom have little of it.
But to not have it, requires a global shutter.

There is a ton of info on this subject.
In short: don't shake the camera and don't move too fast.
 
I'm sure this is has been discussed before. What is the solution to "the wobble" when moving the camera quickly?

As others have said, this is a problem with CMOS sensors used in consumer (and an increasing number of professional) cameras.

The real answer is to buy a camera with a CCD (such as the Digital Bolex) or a global shutter (such as the AJA Cion or the Blackmagic Production or URSA cameras).

These cameras have zero CMOS skew/jello/wobble.
