Flynn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Cool concept. Wonder how effective, and expensive, it'll end up being. http://www.newsshooter.com/2014/09/05/steadxp-is-this-small-box-the-future-of-camera-motion-stabilisation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Looks like it works the same way as instagram hyperlapse. And also looks like it works well! Might actually give this a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Very smart. It's the same concept as Instagram hyperlapse indeed. It shouldn't be expensive at all, the hardware is really cheap. The only downside over a gimbal is framing of course. You're going to have to shoot a bit wider than intended and crop afterwards. For 4K to 1080p this could be really cool. I'm not interested in the current stabilizers because of the price (and the bulk) But this little box could be a really cool addition for handheld action shots. I wonder how it will work in more 'normal' shots, like a substitute for in lens IS. Love the small for factor. Very stealthy!

Kasper Mols Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It seems very interesting to be able to use this metadata for 3d tracking and adding models inside shots! Julian, pablogrollan and MarcLinnhoff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotgg Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 this plus a regular steady cam would be all i needed and they are talking $400ish price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablogrollan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Maybe there's not that much cropping. The newsshooter article talks about "computational photography" to reconstruct frames. Maybe a combination of this litlle box's magic + some good old post stabilization may result in very acceptable steadycam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What did I say with hyperlapse :). Already coming ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Some more info about it and also a comparison video. It doesn't crop because it computes new pixels based on the surrounding frames. The results are incredible! You want to say they are cheating, like they have a MoVi and are artificially making the footage shaky in the "before" footage. But I don't think it's possible to mount a movi in front of a cyclist like that. Still, I hope we get to see more examples soon from better cameras. The quality from their test footage has been pretty poor so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Guys, don't forget, there's going to be a crowdfunding campaign, so actual sales look like it will take a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
