Stabilizing FPV drone video footage is harder than you might think. Proximity flying and flying through stuff can throw stabilization algorithms off and the result ends up being worse than the original footage you were trying to improve.
Just to be clear, this video is not sponsored by anyone. I put countless hours into this and what you see in the video is only the best I could achieve with each software, after dozens of scrapped stabilized footage.
I have included overlays of the original footage on top of the stabilized results, so that you can see how much and how smoothly (or how poorly and choppy) the footage has been stabilized. If you want to watch at a slower speed, click the gear icon on the Youtube player.
I wanted to know if there is any software that can effectively stabilize FPV video footage. Clearly this style of flying confuses the stabilizers and the end result is either not good enough or simply bad.
Taking advantage of GoPro's built-in gyro with ReelSteady GO is the key. On top of that, it is ridiculously simple and the result is almost always awesome.
Instead of getting a Hero 8, I bought a Hero 6 and the money I saved will go to Reelsteady GO. Hypersmooth does work well but I prefer to have complete control over the post processing - and the ability to lock the horizon is a great bonus.
You can try any of the software I used in the links below and see for yourself - let me know your settings if you managed to work things out better than I did.
Reelsteady only works with compatible GoPros. If you want to stabilize video from anything else, you can try Shotcut which is free & open source.
Mercalli does a serious image analysis but the algorithm cannot stabilize this type of flying well enough. Also it has a steep learning curve.
Remember: try to fly as smoothly as possible. It will make it easier for the software and will prevent your video from being cropped a lot.
