Anyone tried ReelSteady?

[Christoffer Glans]

Found this, anyone with experience with it who could testify to it actually being as good as it's promoted?

it's still only 8-bit. I'll take a look when it can support 16 or 32 bit

I suspect their clients at the moment are mainly GoPro/Canon 7D people who are still shooting 8-bit. I agree, 10-bit would be a must, particularly if it were a small, more-serious camera like the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema or Micro Cinema cameras, which are infinitely better-looking than the cheap alternatives.

Are they seriously selling an 8-bit software for $399? Sorry but that's just mental. Who shoots 8-bit today for serious work?

 

[Jens Rosengren]

I'm still curious about the stabilization itself though. I agree that the price in regards of it being an 8-bit only software is to high, but what they'be shown in their demo footage does look great.

Would be fun to see it tested out in more chaotic/challenging shots.

if you look closely - the quickly cut "unstabilised" parts in advertising video are all fake IMO.
No drone shakes this way and no person walks like that. Completely fake. I'll pass.

Well, drones without gimbals shake like that, don't they?

I'm sorry, I don't see any footage on the before and after page that does not have an authentic looking before shot. None of that footage looks faked, just take a quick jaunt on you tube and you will see lots of crappy looking footage, or footage from body mounted go pros etc. I think the software has incredible potential, and really just needs to have some pro features integrated, like 16 bit or float compatibility.
