Why I made it…
So I have had an iPhone since mid 2008 and I’ve always been a huge fan of it. Last year, I upgraded to the iPhone 4 and was excited to use its 720p recording capabilities along with all the other cool things. I used the video camera a few times and after a few weeks, it became one of the less frequently used apps on the phone. One of the reasons was that it was very difficult to record good looking video. I knew that it was prone to the “wobble” effect if you panned too quickly, but even when trying to minimize panning, the small form factor of the phone made it difficult to hold steady.
