Looking at the landing page on my iPhone and all I see is a bit of copy and a still image of a forest. Based on the comments in this thread the app seems worth downloading but not so much based just on the landing page. Are other people seeing video on the landing page when viewing on the iPhone?

Sorry about that. The static image turns into a video on desktop, but there's no way to play a video that is not full screen on Mobile Safari.

We'll probably update the landing page soon. In the meantime, visit the landing page on your desktop, or see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mt286dTNFg

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The stabilized video looks fuzzier. There's a definite lack of crispness that the unsteady video has.

Quick aside to tell that this comparison video was generated a long time ago, when stabilized video were saved at a lower resolution. Since then, we've increased the output resolution and fixed some color correction issues.

That'll explain it! Thanks.

What is impressive about that movie ? To me it's quite the opposite.. it's not impressive at all (too dark, bad fps) and when I watch it there is something in it that causes head aches. It's very hard to watch.

I am biking with one hand and filming with the other. The image doesn't shake, try do film walking or biking and you'll see

Sorry but the image seems to shake up and down a bit, although not as much as it would without stabilisation. It's still noticeable.
