The smartphone has quickly become an essential tool for professional and amateur videographers and photographers to utilize, so products like the 'SmoothVu' video stabilizers are coming about to extend existing capabilities.

Many smartphones are being engineered with proprietary video stabilizing technology yet require additional support to ensure that the final footage is as clean as possible. The 'SmoothVu' helps smartphones and [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-fluid-pro-ai) cameras to achieve this with a three-point axis that keeps the unit stabilized at all times during movement and usage.

The 'SmoothVu' video stabilizers come packed with a variety of accessories including a recording microphone to enhance sound as well as an LED light system to provide illumination for times when lighting is low or the sun has set.
