How to turn off stabilization?
I am trying to film video on an iphone with a gimbal mounted on a
bike and have run into problems with unexpected wobbly mush-like effects
that I believe are partly caused by the iphone's native stabiliser
being pushed beyond its built-in tolerance limits, so would like to know
if it is possible to turn the stabilizer off?
Until today my understanding was that (1) native optical
stabilization in recent iphones like the iphone XS is done via a fixed
piece of hardware that cannot be turned off, and (2) native digital
stabilization in legacy iphones like the iphone 5 was built into the
native camera app with no option to turn stabilization off.
But I have become confused about this after reading reviews of
several different paid-for video camera apps that according to the
reviewers include the option to turn stabilization off or on.
Does this mean the developers of these app have figured out a way to
turn off the inbuilt optical stabilisers in recent iphones, turn off
native digital stabilization in older iphones, or does it just mean that
apps like Filmic Pro just add their own enhanced digital stabilization,
as an additional stabilization effect on top of the native
stabilization built into iphones, that can be switched on or off?
What do you think - is there a way to turn off native stabilization,
either in new or legacy iphones, or is it just a marketing gambit like
hiring a ventriloquist to make a corpse appear to talk?
