The latest image stabilizer from The Tiffen Company uses movie camera technology to eliminate the hand-held camera shakes from iPhone videos.

Granted, the iPhone camera isn’t exactly stellar to begin with. But if it’s all you’ve got, at least now you can get rid of those nausea-inducing shaky vids. Check out the Steadicam Smoothee, recently revealed at the International Consumer Electronics Show:

From the Steadicam Smoothee press release:

The lightweight, agile, and easy to use Steadicam Smoothee features an innovative, patented design built around a durable mono-frame metal structure that requires no complicated instruction to use. With its “go anywhere” compact dimensions, The Steadicam Smoothee is approximately 8”W x 14.5” H x 2.5” D (20.3 x 36.8 x 6.4cm) in operating configuration. While designed for the Apple i-Phone 3Gs, the patented quick release removable i-Phone mount also serves as a tabletop stand or can be mounted to any tripod with a standard ¼ x20” camera mount and the comfortable ergonomic hand-grip folds up securely when not in use. Also included with the Steadicam Smoothee is a quick guide DVD on how to get the best possible shots, along with a carrying strap.
