Nice!

Non-timelapse but related - I wonder how long until mobile phone manufacturers start using in something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VphxfCXu984

Post stabilisation is good but it's so much better to get it right in-camera



Nokia's higher end phones include optical image stabilization. It adds thickness which is probably why iPhones don't have it yet.


Ah of course, Nokia, should have guessed. Interesting video on their stabilisation technology - on the 925 it doesn't seem to add that much thickness, that one is only 8.8mm thick, vs 7.7mm for iPhone 5. They should have licensed their camera tech to all manufacturers. Wonder how much of it will pop up in iPhone 6 now that they snagged one of the main PureView engineers.

I think the earlier 1020 etc were thick because of huge sensor size.

I have OIS dSLR lenses but none of them are quite as good as that Sony's Optical Steady Shot linked above - it's almost as good as some brushless gimbals I'm using on drones, which are rock steady. Sony claim it's 13 times more effective than their previous stabilisation.
