I made two short videos of each mirror hoping to capture the differences. Both were taken on consecutive days on the same stretch of Interstate, going the same direction, in the same lane and the same speed.
The **** I had the camera too low so you couldnt see the vehicle(what happens when you are not looking at the camera but driving), but you can see power lines, and both mirrors shake at the same rate.
The K-Source you can see that the mirrors are not shaking together, the OEM is rock solid while the snap on is shaking.
They didn't come out as good as I was hoping for, but thats what happens when you aren't looking at the phone, but driving.
I do like the larger mirror of the K-source, but the shaking makes them unusable, and I have the screw as tight as I dare turn it.

I see little shaking at all in the K-source. The **** has nothing in the mirror to see except blue sky with not even a cloud to fixate on.
The actual truck mirror that the **** is attached to, is shaking more than the K-Source mirror by a large amount.
If you see shaking, you really need to tighten up that adjustment screw on the K-Source mirrors and you won't have any shaking as I don't.
Good luck.

The screw is as tight as I dare to tighten it, any further and I fear it will crack the plastic. I will try to get better videos now that I am done with my trip and can do it on the road by my house that is really rough, then you can really see the shaking.
