panarama

I have recently been trying to do some long exposure shots and panoramas both during the day and at night. I seem to be having trouble though because my PH3 doesn't stay 100% steady while taking these slow shots. Some photos come out well but others are blurry. Most of the blurry photos I get...

I am having problems with my Litchi app and taking panorama. It starts but it never takes any photos and tells me it times out. It worked once but not anymore. What could have happened and how do I fix it?
