Gimbals are great but can often be awkward and oversized to use, so the 'Smoovie' is here to help users achieve steady video results in a flash. Currently being funded as part of a Kickstarter campaign, the 'Smoovie' works by affixing onto a smartphone and balancing it as the user pans.
The secret to the success of the 'Smoovie' is in the neodymium magnets that are built-in to help the camera follow your hand without causing any shaking or unsteadiness. Designed by Alex Kalogroulis, the 'Smoovie' is available for purchase at a very low price point in comparison to other similar products on the market. Plus, it'll help provide steady video, which is worth the small investment.
