Learning about this app just made my day! As an owner of a Sony Alpha 1 mirrorless camera it'll be super useful. The A1 is one of the first cameras of its type to capture gyro metadata natively. While Sony ships some stabilization software for the A1, a quick look at it left me less than enthusiastic about the workflow of Sony's app and its rather limited capabilities. While the drone demos are cool, the non-drone creative possibilities for amateur filmmakers will be equally impactful. Imagine being able to get perfect crane-style interior tracking shots just using a long pole. As great as they are, drones aren't allowed in a lot of environments due to noise, distraction, insurance, etc. Flying a four pound stabilized cinema rig usually requires a BIG hexacopter that is loud and, frankly, pretty scary to be close to. A lot of us low-to-no budget filmmakers (and students) rely on shooting in improvised locations because we don't have the budget to shut down a city street to get a shot. I'm excited to try this on some handheld run-and-gun action footage. The Alpha 1 camera is amazingly small and light for the pro cinema level quality it delivers which is why it would be a shame to stick it in on a big stabilizing gimbal rig. Capturing gyro metadata natively is an inexpensive 'no-brainer' feature all 'serious' cameras should include.
