UKAirscape | Stabilisation tests: Canon XA20 (XA25 / HF-G30) @UKAirscape | Uploaded 11 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
This is a series of tests of the stabilisation modes on the Canon XA20. The same modes and abilities are present on the XA25 and HF-G30 camcorders.

I tried handholding the camcorder by the strap and walking a short distance with the stabiliser off, standard, dynamic and powered modes.

Intriguingly, switching Powered on seemed to add it to Dynamic as the wide-angle was the same (ie 2mm less than when Dynamic is turned off)

I then tried the same again but holding the camcorder by the handle.

Finally I zoomed to the maximum 20x and used all four modes again.
