SteadXP Aims to Stabilize All of Your Shaky DSLR and GoPro Video Footage1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWith impressive looking example videos and a relatively inexpensive price tag when compared to a MoVi or Ronin, the Kickstarter for the SteadXP has already blown past its fundraising goal. I wasn’t sure what all the hype was about until I watched their video with before and after examples.
In case you don’t want to head over to the SteadXP Kickstarter page, here’s a breakdown of what this product offers and what it will cost.
There are two versions, with one for GoPro Heros and another for other cameras, from DSLRs to mirrorless to professional level cinema bodies. The SteadXP@ works with GoPro Hero 2, 3, 3+, and 4 cameras, but not the Session. The SteadXP+ is built to work with any camera body that has the following:
An accessible flash mount (standard coldshoe),
A stereo microphone input and a clean video output (AV Out or HDMI).
You can also use SteadXP+ on professional cinema cameras, with several options how to ensure the synchronization (standard Genlock signals: bi or tri-level sync).
As of the publishing of this article, the cheapest available units were $157 and $257 for the SteadXP@ and the SteadXP+, respectively.
A question I found myself wondering was how they were able to achieve this seemingly magical motion correction without completely destroying the quality of the video through scaling and distortion?
