Shakiness in Videos

Updated today

If you are experiencing shaky or unstable videos, follow the settings and tips below for the smoothest filming experience:

Canon R8/DSLR:

  1. Set digital stabilization to [Enhanced]

  2. Ensure that your camera is properly mounted (centered, weight evenly distributed, and mounted as close to the rod as possible). See Universal DSLR mount installation for instructions and a video tutorial on how to set this up.

  3. If your lens has Stabilization built in, make sure it is turned on.

    *At this time, we are not recommending use of the Canon R5 Mark ii in conjunction with Glambot®. Mainly due to the IBIS in the Mark ii not having the ability to be turned off if Optic Stabilization is on. In certain scenarios, the IBIS can cause output videos to be shaky as a result of micro vibrations in the arm. Our team does not feel the output quality of the Mark ii matches the smoothness we strive for.

    For use with Snappic, we continue to recommend the Canon R8 and other models and brands which have digital stabilization or the ability to operate optic stabilization independently of an IBIS system.

GoPro:

  1. Turn on Hypersmooth mode (Change the Video and Slowmo settings)

iPhone:

  1. Set stabilization to [Standard]. This allows for a high frame rate of 240fps and stabilization for smoothness. If more stabilization is needed, you can try changing it to [Cinematic], but this will limit the frame rate to 120fps.
