It's rocking left and right ever so slightly. this is a common problem with heavy lift helicopters. Since you need immense power to lift the thing, the output produced by the rotors can cause vibrations which can become a serious problem. This is usually counteracted with a suspension system, like the ones on CH-53's. But this limits control speed. That's why CH-47 was designed as a tandem chooper. You wanna keep the rotors small.
@mr9396 You will never see rocking that hard on an MD500 family or if you wanna go big, Co-axial Kamovs are as stable as they get. The super stallion was designed as carrier based, meaning to withstand high winds. You can easily find vids of CH-53 taking off in a wind storm like it was a modest fart.
Do you know anything about Helos? cuz it sounds like to me that you're just trying to have a piss race. I have better shit to do than argue on the internet with an Agusta fan boy.
the second one looks like a links helicopter

@baronofhawkland. Do you know anything about helicopters? Because the Lynx AW159 hovering in this video is as stable as they go.

At 1.17 the windsack shows no wind at all so it seems that 159 has some problems in hovering...
