So the iphone 8 Just last Week i picked one up a Few Days Ago and i was Really Excited to try out the new
1080P 240 frames per second slo-mo
So i went to the skate park and shot a Few test
Videos and in doing so i noticed some Things that needed to be talked about so That's what we're gonna do in this video
I'm gonna Play Through The video and i'm gonna Keep It Playing While we Talk
So as you see in this first Example
As We Play Through The video There's a Little Bump as I'm riding Towards The ramp Which could have Been anything
But Then in the Middle of the trick Whenever i land back on the ramp You'll see that There's a Pretty Huge?
camera movement That Really could Have Only Been Caused
By the trick itself and in the setup video you can See that the tripod is set up ten feet away on
concrete
Somewhere Where you wouldn't Generally think that action That far Away from the camera and tripod
Would Affect The camera stability itself
So with This camera Shake Mid trick as soon as i hit the ramp comes a Little Bit of wonder as to why this is
Happening
Luckily as You can See here i had both My iPhone 8 Shooting At 1080P
240 frames a Second and My iPhone 6 Shooting
720P 240 frames a Second Side-By-Side For The Exact Same shot in trick and aside from the obvious differences in
Sharpness color and Just The General quality of The shot you can see that the iPhone 6 has a Much smaller
camera Bump in the Middle of The Shot
Compared to the iPhone 8 now the iphone 6 does not have optical Image stabilization the Way that the iPhone 8 Does It Only has
Digital Image Stabilization
But There's obvious difference in the camera Shake leads me to believe that the iPhone 8 isn't using Any
Stabilization Whatsoever Whenever it's shooting 1080P
240 frames per second so thinking about This
Scientifically i wanted to try and reproduce The results that we've already observed in the video so far so i went back to the skate
Park Set My Phones and my tripod Up Exactly The same Way They were for the original videos and did the exact same trick i
Figured This Would Be the perfect Way to test and see if we Could Reproduce The Results By
Reproducing This in and i couldn't have Been more wrong
for Whatever reason This video That i got from the exact same spot with the exact same trick and the exact same Phone setup
Was Perfectly stable on both Ends i did both The iPhone 8 at 1080P
240 frames a Second and
The iPhone 8 at
720P
240 frames a Second and Both Times i recorded with both The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 8 at The same time and That's What
You're Looking at Right Now so as you can See there was absolutely
No, camera
Shake Whatsoever with all of The Variables being Exactly The same even the lighting Conditions were almost the same Because it was Cloudy
After Watching The Playback and seeing no camera Shake i had to wonder Now what so What i did was
Relocate the tripod and the Phones to on top of the ramp itself i know from past experience
That This Always Produces camera Shake Because sometimes i Try and film from here and a Lot of the times it doesn't Work
Depending on the trick so i did a Little bit less
intense of a trick and The Results were Crazy after Looking at them on the computer the iPhone 8 had an
Incredible Amount of camera Shake Versus The iPhone 6 and i did this test in both 1080P and 720p
240 frames per Second on the iPhone 8 Filming with the iPhone 6 At 720p
240 frames per second Both Times i
Couldn'T observe the difference in camera shake at the skatepark
Because There Was somewhat Bad viewing Conditions for Watching video on a Phone Screen and i didn't want. To move the Phones Themselves
Even so i went ahead and i did the exact same trick from the original video knowing that it Would produce
Insane camera shake and Their Results As You're Seeing Right Now are
Incredible The difference in camera Shake Between The iPhone 8 and the iPhone 6 is
Insane the iPhone 8 shakes so badly That You really can't even Watch the video and i don't think it Would be
Too Far-fetched to say That It could cause Motion Sickness for some People it'S that Shaky but if you look at the iphone
6 Playback The camera Shake Seems to be nowhere near
is bad so i'm not sure Exactly What's going on with the
Stabilization in the iPhone 8 because this Happened in both 1080P and 720p
240 frames per Second on the iPhone 8 and the differences between the iPhone 8 in the iphone 6 did not change between the iphone
8 shooting 240 frames a Second At 1080 or
720 p either Way if you look Very Very Closely you can See that the iPhone 6 is still
Recovering At The same time The iPhone 8 is and the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 6
stabilized Themselves at Almost The Exact same time it's Just That The iPhone 8 is coming from a more unstable
Shot or point of view whatever you want to call it i'm not sure What's going on with the stabilization in the iphone 8
Slow Motion video but I do Know that it's there something's Weird and There's Obviously
Observable differences Between The iPhone 8 and a Pass Model iPhone 6 Which doesn't even have optical Image stabilization
built-in i could Be completely wrong Though It could Be My setup It could Be something Else I'm not
Sure but i know that the iPhone 8 was on the left side of My
Rig and The iPhone 6 was on the right side and if you look Closely at The picture you'll see that if
AnyThing Should Have Been less stable It Should have Been the iPhone 6 because the iPhone 8 is on the side that is screwed Directly
To the tripod mount either Way though i wanted to put this Out there for everyone to see Just in case anyone else is
Experiencing Anything Similar I know that the iPhone 8 Just came Out a Week ago so it could be possible that there's?
Optimization coming in the future there's no Way to know that so let me know in the comments Below if you're
Experiencing something Similar And Let's Have a Conversation about This
Hopefully This is Addressed and fixed
Soon but Either Way be aware that this could be an issue when you're Filming slow Motion video on the iPhone 8 and
Try to avoid it iF possible When you're setting up your
Slow-Motion Shots Hopefully You found This video Useful and i'll Catch You in the next one thanks for watching Guys Goodbye
