Show HN: Steady – Shoot Cinematic Videos • Hacker News Board

We record data from the internal sensors in your iPhone while shooting the video (mainly, the gyroscope), which allows us to estimate how your camera moves when taking the video and compensate for that.

Downloaded and playing with it, seems to work fairly well. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the app to work in 16:9 mode.

I downloaded it and gave it a quick try. Walking around the office at a somewhat fast pace yielded some blur on each step. I slowed down a bit and results were better. We have a lot of windows so there was a lot of light/dark issues which is more the iPhones limitations than the app. Stability was pretty cool though not convinced it would work well on a bike. If you have some untouched videos you captured from the ap…

Yes they are legit :) The originals are only longer... Those in the forest were shot (with an iPhone 5) on a bike, and you can "feel" the footsteps for those on the beach :) (it was last month in the South-West of France...)

Just spins the loading animation without showing any video in the camera screen. Wondering if there is any server work and it might be under heavy load due to HN and whatnot. Edit: iPhone 5s. Edit2: its working now!
