Gyroflow: Video stabilization using gyroscope data

Haven't really used much other stabilization in post after modern gopros have gotten so good. Especially with the 360 variants (MAX and now MAX 2), it's buttery smooth (and infinite FOV means no cropping). Sometimes too smooth, I want to show how rough the cycling trail really was!

So So useful <3
Stabilization = you have to zoom-in, loss of FOV. Depending on Action Cam and undistortion parameters, this can be different, sometimes too little, sometimes too much. Gyroflow allows you to dial it in. Lot's Stabilization in a particularly shaky spot and widest FOV everywhere else, smoothed between to be unnoticeable.

As a drone pilot I used this before davinci studio implemented something similar. I highly recommend.

I wanted to try this but sadly it seems my A7 iii doesn't record gyro data.

There are external devices that can be attached to the camera to record gyro data, e.g https://docs.gyroflow.xyz/app/advanced-usage/using-external-... I just ordered one a few weeks ago and haven't received it yet, so can't talk about personal experience, but there's no technical reason it couldn't work well.

My a7CR seems to be supported - will try this out later.

Some months ago I tested footage of my A7C2 on Gyroflow expecting to do visual stabilization, and found my camera has a gyro (didn't know about it) and automatically adds that info to the videos.
replyThe result was pretty good and it was super easy to do it.

How is this different from usual sensor stabilisation techniques? Is it because it can adjust for a wider range of motion?

That this also helps so much with rolling shutter correction is wild! Epic.
