TIL: very wide angled lenses give you wobbly edges with hardware stabilization 💀

ok, i'm flabergasted. Modern mirrorless cameras also record gyro data that can be used with a beautiful open source tool to stabilize the image. So you can basically get the cool actioncam stabilized look on a proper camera image. How cool is that?! There's even a linux release!

@bleeptrack Great find. For those asking which hardware is supported, here the link to the devices: https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow/#supported-gyro-sources

@leah @bleeptrack Officially for mine neither, BUT there might be a solution in the shape of an external logger mounted to the body, and you can even build that yourself... https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow/?tab=readme-ov-file#info-for-cameras-not-on-the-list

I'm intrigued, and I don't even have a proper use for this, it just nerdsniped me 😅

@foosel @leah :O

@foosel @leah oh just discovered that you can also track via smartphone. So maybe packing the phone on the cold shoe might also be an option :)

@bleeptrack huh, I wonder if that could also help with using the video for 3D reconstruction of scenes

@bleeptrack waitttt gyroflow is open source? 😱
Always read about people using it with GoPros for drone fpv footage and I guess I just assumed it wasn't! Definitely will have to see if I have something compatible now!
