Video Camera Stabilization Techniques

Gopro hero 7 is one of the best action camera one of the best in video stabilization

I use this for video on a tripod to add stabilization in wind and for the camera that doesn't have a remote release. I can't imagine a better design, but I do wish I had some heavier ones for windier days. They're slim so they don't take up tons of space and are very heavy for their size. A great product.

I came from the A7 iii, which is now my still camera and back up video cam. If you like the A7 iii as a video cam you will love this. It's the same form factor, so you can bring it anywhere, but it shoot like a cinema cam. I love it because you can build it up or strip it down. Easily slap it on a gimbal or hand hold it because of the excellent onboard stabilization. I have the Atomos Ninja 5, which allows for raw shooting (which I have yet to do). I've read a ton of reviews from reputable reviewers and the consensus is that it's the best camera in its weight class. The auto focus is insane, great image quality, excellent dynamic range, built in stabilization - low light performance is off the charts. Great camera. I should say I don't plan on using it as a camera for stills because I own the A7 iii which is a very good stills camera. I'm sure it's capable and can produce great shots but I see it as a little powerhouse video camera. Pull the trigger!

I bought multiples of this product to be the base to many of my stabilization rigs to make it easier since I do a lot of video. Its a very good product and I very much enjoy how easy it is to get the camera on it! The only complaint that I have is it takes some getting used to to get the the camera off of it and the first time I did it I almost dropped my camera! Overall a great buy though!

This is my third GO PRO camera and by far the best. They have solved all the problems I had with the first two. The video with gimbal stabilization  make the realistic video awesome. Dont sit on the fence, go get one now.

Great camera and lens combo for nearly everything. The XT3 takes great photos and video. The lens has great image stabilization, so handheld shots are usable and adding stabilization in post is also possible because you can shoot at a wider focal length. And the dials are a nice aid for purposeful, manual shooting.

I own a Canon xl2 and gl2 and just picked up one a canon hf s10 and want to say that the video quality is amazing for such a small camera and should be considered a prosumer camera. I am still getting used to its weight, it almost feels like nothing in my hands being used to heavier cameras. This is not for live video feeds without purchasing expensive hardware as the cpu recognizes it only as a memory device. Aftermarket batteries and lenses are fairly inexpensive compared to oem products. If recording in 24p make sure your software will import correctly. The internal stabilization feature kinda makes the software stabilization look weird. So use only one, either software or built in camera. Do your homework on this product if using for pro work

Nighttime photographs and video is fantastic. Far better than any other camera and camcorder that I own. 4K video image stabilization is not perfect but good.

After using a LX100 for 3 years, it was time for an upgrade.� And the GX85 has the upgrades I was seeking.� Interchangeable lens (no more dust spots), touch screen, post focus, higher resolution, and the amazing 5 axis IBIS with Dual IS.� I was amazed at what the new Stabilization can do.� Normally with a DSLR panning while bursting using the optical stabilization, the subject jerks all over the frame making it impossible to get consistent composed images shooting long lenses.� With IBIS and dual IS, the subject remains where you have it while bursing.� And with Depth from Defocus the hit rate is 100%.� Better than what DSLRs and optical stabilization can do.� Also, I can shoot 4K video without jerk and shake.� Even with a 300mm equivalent lens.� You can't do that with a DSLR and optical stabilization.� And, panning video is like on a gimbal: super smooth up to 70mm equivalent.� What could be improved is, the way the stabilizer tracks.� It seems that the Dual IS uses horizontal lines as a reference to stabilize.� Once the horizontal line in the scene is broken, the stabilizer hunts for another horizontal line moving in the direction of the pan.� Same applies for the tilt. where vertical lines are the reference.� Thus, panning is very smooth in some cases, and not so smooth in others.� Another gripe I have is the weight, for a camera this small, they should be able to lighten it up.� As for the common downers like no mic jacks, small EVF, and flippy screen, I accept it because of the camera's price.� Nevertheless, this camera has great image quality, micro 4:3 sensor, 4K video, a ton of features, the ability to change lenses, and the best stabilization and focus system on the market in any mirrorless camera.� That's IMO why this is the best Bang for the Buck travel mirrorless camera.� I don't have any photos to share here, but you can check out my ToxicTabasco channel on YouTube to see what I do with the GX85.

I bought this camera as the requisite new-father video camera. The low light capability on this is perfect for indoor baby footage. This camera is excellent for a home use or for basic amateur video production. It provides some manual controls when you need them, but the interface for these controls is too slow and clunky for full blown video production. It is small and light enough that it isn't tiring to hold and fits in my camera bag with my SLR, but large enough that it is easy to hold steady. The standard image stabilization is decent, but when you turn on the powered stabilization it is amazing (and battery draining). The only difference that I can find between this and the S20 is that the S20 has built in memory. The S21 introduces more memory and a viewfinder. Unless you need the extra memory, the S200 with some good name-brand is probably a better buy than the S20, but the S21 or S30 makes sense if you want a viewfinder. A larger/extra battery is a must in any good quality video camera these days, and this is no exception. I use SanDisk Ultra (class 4), which easily handle the highest data rate the camera supports (3MBps or 24Mbps). Faster cards may improve startup speed and other operations, but I haven't made any comparisons. I would definitely recommend this camera.
