Just found out about this, if it works as well as it's advertised, could be a real game changer for us.
It's almost too good though, I feel like it's very disrespectful of good filters with glide cams/steady cams who can produce crazy smooth shots with their awesome skills (unlike me xD). I'd defo buy one anyways if it works well though. That compared footy did look much smoother, if it was done legit, that's impressive.

eh some of those shots looked pretty good but it works similar to warp stabilizer in premiere, it crops the original content to make up for shake. I'd way rather use a mōvi or glidecam anyday and have a stabilized shot without affecting the resolution

optical and mechanical >>>>>> digital when it comes to stabilization

Seems like an automated warp stabalizer?

Idk about this seems pretty limited vs using a normal stablizer and making everything look good in post.. but maybe I just dont understand what they are doing?

Of course an actual rig setup will always be better, but that stuff is $$$$$ and takes good skills, for the am filmer looking to make some decent follow shots this could be the dream come true. Although legit filters would not benefit from it...

If this is legit I think this ought to be out here in ski gabber, everybody films edits, this thing could change the am edit game.


provided this is the same video before and after, that's pretty impressive
