SteadXP adds an amazing level of stability to handheld video on almost any digital camera. It works by recording the camera's movements on 3 axes during filming, using its built in accelerometer & gyroscope.
In post processing, SteadXP software uses motion data recorded by the SteadXP hardware to stabilize the video. SteadXP software is also able to correct rolling shutter distortion.
