That might be worth checking.

Seriously though, I have seen wildly flopping probes that made me
think
that metal fatigue would surely ensue shortly. Maybe try a different
probe,
one with a stiffer shaft and less weight at the end (triple probe) .

The original question was to find out whether the natural
ossicaltion/vibration/jiggling of a fit healthy TE probe in flight has any

effect at all on the accuracy of the TE compensation

"Any effect at all"? Yes, it has some. But, it is a high frequency vibration, and the time constant on vario displays is much longer, so as a practical answer, "No, it does not have significant adverse affects on TE Compensation".
