How to make Mi 5s work on video stabilization on Google Camera

Only way for now to have proper stabilization is to use MIUI ROM with MIUI camera and 1080p video recording. I have tried everything to enable 4K EIS but no luck. Even using open camera app and build prop edits for eis did not give any results. I am wondering how the heck SD625/636 devices like Redmi Note 5 (pro) can have EIS on 4k using open camera on stock MIUI ROM? Can anyone port MIUI camera from those devices, or what files to replace to enable EIS in open camera that actually works ?

persist.camera.eis.enable=1
That do not change anything worth mentioning, no meter what ROM or APP are you using. True, you get switch to enable Video Stabilization in Google Camera app, but that EIS do not work not even close like on Pixel. Already tried that and also tried this:
# Camera
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
persist.camera.is_type=4
persist.camera.gyro.android=4
persist.camera.tof.direct=1
persist.camera.tnr.preview=1
persist.camera.tnr.video=1

still we do not have proper EIS like in 1080p in MIUI ROM, or Redmi Note 5/pro with open camera. So there is something else involved. Do anyone have idea how to port EIS like on RN 5 Pro, Pixel, One Plus?

I don't know exactly. How did you test it? What is a good way of recording a footage to see it?

4k 30fps and 1080p 30fps, too shaky. For example RN5 with open cam is so smooth and stable in 4k 30fps, even better than 1080p on stock miui on Mi5s.
We have hardware supporrt and capability, but Xiaomi did not implemented EIS on this phone, just like Mix2s with SD845. So this is just a software thing.

I am a Mi 5S user and I love to make videos with the phone. I use Filmic Pro to shoot videos in 4K24fps and use Adobe Premiere to stabilize my videos.
It's interesting to do with videos that you really want to have in a portfolio, for example.
Here is a video that I made with Mi 5S(with Filmic Pro in 4k24fps) and edited with Premiere.

But in Miui videos are stabilized
