iPhone OIS and Gimbal Jello fix

[@sk8fyshbyk923]

understood. not willing to risk this on a $1000 device. doesn't take long for magnetism to happen. after commenting, i did a bit of research and found many others with this concern. you seem to have no issues with it so far which is nice. thanks for the review.

[@usernameheath]

I’ve spent countless hours trying to figure this stuff out so that I can make driving videos without that awful jello effect. Have you still had no damage from the magnet? About how many times have you used recorded with the magnet? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also, thank you so much for the video!!!

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Well, I was skeptical first, but it sure really works !

[@YeepLife]

Seem to be a workaround but not feasable. I didnt buy the gimble to have to attach a magnet when in use. I didnt have the issue until lately. Since i’m under warranty with my iphone, is it better to just turn it in to them so i can get a replacement?

[@TheBasicPilot]

Unless the iphone can have the OIS turned off , you will have this issue.

[@ien2023]

You would think Apple would make the iphone gimble friendly. Does it work with X?

[@TheBasicPilot]

Jane Smitherson I don’t know if it can shut it off. Apple doesn’t make a product to work with something else. Their products are flawless, just ask them.

[@ien2023]

@@TheBasicPilot I saw another video of someone using the same method on the X. I guess Apple never anticipated the iphone to use as professional like video production and the price drop in gimble.

Love, love, love your closing! Brilliant!

Great video, and a great work around for this problem. I have tried it, but it seems to mess up my auto focus... using an iPhone 8+

[@33layersandyoustillnotthere]

you have to get it right, otherwise the autofocus will not work properly. Also it is better if you use an app like filmic pro with disables OIS otherwise it will fight constantly against the magnet and probably wear it out. Filmic pro disables ois but still gives you the jello effect due to how the camera is suspended with springs.

[@TheBasicPilot]

@@33layersandyoustillnotthere Despite what Filmic Pro (which I own also) says it can do, shutting off OIS on the iPhone is not one of them.

[@ArturFilipiak]

@@33layersandyoustillnotthere Focusing mechanism of the lens is locked in place by the magnet. I'ts not a big deal in a very bright conditions - like the scene on this video, where everything seems to be in focus (due to large aperture). But the lower light, the lower aperture, the more and more you'll be out of focus.

Art F you have it reversed bud lol

[@iamkingriot]

You are great at vlogging mate, keep it up!

[@TheBasicPilot]

Thanks!

[@williamwaterhouse2221]

Thanks so much , works a treat , a real nice low-fi fix to hi tech innervation i could do without .

[@MajorTom404]

Appreciate the video. Thank you for taking the time to make this!

[@matthewdower5383]

Wish I knew this before my trip to Petra :-(

[@ArturFilipiak]

Matthew Dower it’s a dirty workaround. See my comment up.

[@edstababy]

Does the iphone 6 PLUS have OIS?

[@TheBasicPilot]

Waterboxer I’m not sure, I have a 6 s plus and it has it

[@edstababy]

@@TheBasicPilot I think the 6 doesnt but the 6 PLUS does...

[@seungjaeyeo8034]

How about movi? iPhone with ois on movi creates jitters too?

[@TheBasicPilot]

여승재 Most likely yes

[@JakobHofer]

Thank you!

[@ArturFilipiak]

The thing you're doing sticking a magnet on the phone, is that you're simply locking all metal parts of the camera in place - that including delicate focusing system of the lens. Your iPhone is now focusing on "infinity" and you won't be able to focus on a close subject with the aperture fully open. It's a dirty workaround for certain/rare cases (like the scene you shoot on your video: full sun, long distance focus, aperture f/8 or more, where everything seems to be in focus), but definitely not any kind of "fix". Kind regards.

[@TheBasicPilot]

You can't please everyone but this works for me but feel free to provide a link for your fix.

[@ArturFilipiak]

The Basic Pilot there’s no fix for this. And you definitelly can’t claim you found a fix for something that cannot be fixed. I’m just trying to elaborate what did you actually do here using a magnet (the cons that you didn't mention on your video). Kindly, Artur :-)

[@sk8fyshbyk923]

We all know magnets will magnetize metals when in contact. Seems like this will magnetize the metal used in the OIS and essentially "lock" out the OIS from ever working properly again. This is frustrating!

[@TheBasicPilot]

I guess if you never take it off, it might. I only put it on when I am using my gimbal, which is not all the time.

[@assalavisual2189]

any broken iphone 7 camera when using a magnet ?

[@TheBasicPilot]

I'm not sure what you are saying?

[@edstababy]

@@TheBasicPilot Think hes asking if anyones ever broken a camera by using a magnet.

[@KurtShawRides]

Just like IOS not allowing users to decide when to turn something on and off.

[@TheBasicPilot]

Steve Jobs knows better than us

[@KurtShawRides]

The Basic Pilot I actually know better because I won't use ios. I can still use my unlimited data to update large apps unlike ios

[@Cloud9Channel]

OIS In any phone can’t be turned off...its not a software feature its mechanical

[@mavisowens7950]

Kurt Shaw Dude it’s a hardware issue
