The Steadicam Smoothee™ from Tiffen

[vjlupin]

with the new sony lens embedded into Iphone 4S, this solution is really interesting. I already bought a olloclip and I think i'll get a Smoothie. in many configurations, this affordable solution is better than more complex and price solution in hardware or software (time is money )

PRICEEEEEEEEEEE

[1iNova]

@BedededeII $180. Now at Amazon. The first quantity shipment went out earlier this week. Soon, the word "backorder" will be bandied about.

BTW, the final is much better than the prototypes. Much.

@TheMacCafe Make one for normal camcorders and one that fits the iPhone 4 that costs only around $20 and you'll be in business!!

Where i find this here in Brazil? Can i use with digital camera?

[Alkhashti75]

can i use it with samsung omnia hd?

[izleep]

yea is there version for iphone 4? anyone know?

[chrisknappER]

@izleep Yes, there is. The front of the box will indicate which model you are buying. The device itself is the same, however the phone/camera adapter is different for each.

[jcwacky]

Nice device, but awful video. Effects and transistions are over the top and it doesn't even show a video of someone using the device.

Is there a version for the iphone 4?

[namastemedia]

With the iPhone 4 HD, this now makes since. Where can I buy one?

[dmcfee]

I like the idea but it needs to be adapted to work with smaller hand held cameras that record in HD. After all, why would you try and make a iPhone movie whe you have no external memory and crappy battery life?

I would also like to see how much it weighs and whether it folds up. I see no reason why Tiffen can't produce a super light weight very for modern super light weight cameras.

Can anyone tell me what the circular light is I often see on the front of steadicams. it looks light it circles around the lense and appears to be an aid to a person doing piece to camera. Thanks.

[SFDigitalImaging]

Seems to me steadicam is off the mark with this one in that there are no considerations for considerably better mini hd video cameras such as the flip...

[jkantor267]

Considering what their products cost - this is the best their marketing dept can do?

[Morzg]

Looks great! I hope desperately that we can have some adapters for small hybrid high definition cams like Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3(TZ7). It's in all dimensions (except depth) smaller than iPhone (maybe a bit heavier) and makes better videos by far! With better wide-angle lens (Leica lens), Dolby stereo sound and cinematographic controls (perfect "intelligent automatic").

the song seems to be nice

[kingsadlee]

awesome

[dave3030]

I don't understand. Why would someone pay for this when the iPhone camera isn't that great? The money could help pay for a standalone camera.

[MladenMTube]

Because the device is very compact, light, and easy to carry around, and typical cameras are not :-)

[dave3030]

@MladenMTube This device is clearly not light, compact, or easy to carry. Typical cameras (point-and-shoots) record 720p now days and are very light, compact, and easy to carry.

[MladenMTube]

Yes, I know. It was a joke ;-)

[dave3030]

@MladenMTube haha my fault then, you silly goose

[taiwanbrownshow]

streaming video... and quick youtube upload...! get your video to the next before everyone!!

[ucheucheuche]

@dave3030 iPhome 4 is now here with good camera in tow. :) And mobile cameras will only get better.

[dave3030]

@ucheucheuche You're missing the point. It seems absurd to buy this thing instead of an actual camera. Sure, the iPhone 4 camera is impressive - for a cell phone camera. I guess you don't understand the meaning of the word "mobile".

[chrisknappER]

@dave3030 The iPhone 4 is actually surprising good for video. Do you own one? Also, you can use the Smoothee with quite a few devices, and also build adapters to use quite a few Point & Shoot cameras, being that the are similar in both weight and dimension.

[dave3030]

@chrisknappER yes, I do own one. I still think it's ridiculous.

[chrisknappER]

@dave3030 I think shaky videos are ridiculous.

[dave3030]

@chrisknappER the iPhone 4's rolling shutter ruins the video quality

[ohhhwhaaat]

@chrisknappER thanks for the input. Do you think it would be fairly easy to build an adapter for a Gopro or Contour HD sports camera?

[Fhoven]

seems to work. Price ???
