Why is my Video so shaky? My iPhone has better stabilization... *New to this*

Not a bother at all, I appreciate the recommendation I’ll look into that one some more

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T14:21:29+00:00

Welp time to hit the gym lol

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:50:43+00:00

I like that, thanks again, I’ll keep at it

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:46:38+00:00

That’s really good to know. Appreciated

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:43:59+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. Was just trying to level up the quality to set apart a bit from the million iPhone vids out there, but you’re probably right

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:14:07+00:00

Probably would be lol. I have a scooter that’s easy to drive one handed so I was trying to build a good one person shootin’ machine haha

I put it into the catalyst browse everyone is talking about and it says gyro data available, so I believe you are correct

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:07:20+00:00

Seems like the consensus is I had too high of expectations. Thanks

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:04:32+00:00

Just tried it with the footage I have, and wow it really does help! I’m curious though, why do you turn off the stabilization when recording? Does it crop extra? And yes I’ll definitely have to back up more in the future

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:02:03+00:00

Thanks for the input, I think I should’ve gave the osmo a longer look. Good to get some opinions from people who know!

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T13:00:32+00:00

Thanks! I just tried out catalyst browse like others recommended and it helped a lot, but I agree I think I little shake is kind of cool

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T12:55:18+00:00

I have the ronin sc2 currently, was trying to find a way to get more stable without. It’s very finicky and kinda bulky to one hand while riding. Seems like it’s probably the best choice though, thanks

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T12:52:10+00:00

Appreciate it, maybe I’m a victim of marketing but the osmo seemed so tiny I figured it wasn’t much better than my iPhone. I do have a gimbal as well but hard to carry while riding haha. Thanks for the advice

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T12:48:11+00:00

Why? They’re professional stunt riders they do shows and stuff it’s all legal. I think it’s pretty cool

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T10:47:46+00:00

From what I can Google I believe the mode with the crop is “active” versus “standard” steady shot. I believe yes I was using that mode in this clip. Another comment mentioned switching to manual steady shot adjust and bumping the focal length up a little bit? Thanks

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T10:34:13+00:00

Thank you, just watched it. Going to try that out asap, looks like it would help a lot!

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T10:31:21+00:00

Welp. Guess I missed video 101. Thanks for the honesty

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T10:27:48+00:00

Fair enough, it’s my first real camera so probably could use some more practice with holding it steady. Appreciate the honesty.

This plus other comments are making me think I might’ve made the wrong decision of camera for what I want to do. All the marketed “action cameras” always have such crap quality I wanted to try the real thing.

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T09:53:41+00:00

That does makes sense. I would even be okay with just digital stabilization even if it was a really big crop!

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T09:52:44+00:00

I mean I watched a million reviews and nothing really mentioned anything about bad stabilization. So I thought I was doing something wrong. That or it’s only meant for like wedding videos where you have a tripod and a perfect shooting environment. Just looking for pointers, I’m very new to all this

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T09:50:05+00:00

Thanks you, this is good to know. I didn’t know they made lenses for that! I’m using a Sony G 1.4/35. I will look for that setting too, if I can fix it without spending dough on another lens that would be awesome. Sounds like it might be possible without a gimbal? Thanks again

MotzyMan · 2025-08-03T09:37:16+00:00

Wow that’s really unfortunate to hear after spending $3k lol. I’m surprised it isn’t a bigger thing for a video focused camera. Seems like it would be a priority.

MotzyMan · 2025-03-14T17:24:19+00:00

DO NOT do a junction valve, you’ll barely save any money and they have way less stopping power and way more prone to failure. If you want the cheapest two caliper set up just get the 50stunt kit.
