Gyroflow is free open-source software to give you rock-steady video footage

The funny thing about free software is that it still needs to sell itself to us. Sure, there’s no monetary cost, but nobody wants to feel that their time (and hard drive space) is being wasted. Sometimes, though, a free and open-source app comes along that demands and deserves our time.

If you shoot video, that app might just be Gyroflow (download here). Gyroflow 1.5.1 has been released with improved support for Sony, Blackmagic and Insta360, along with multiple video aspect ratio presets. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux and as an OpenFX plugin for DaVinci Resolve.

DJI Action 2 gains gyro stabilisation in new firmware update

DJI has released a new firmware up date for the popular DJI Action 2 modular action camera. The new update makes the Action 2 DJI’s first action camera to offer Gyroflow compatibility. Gyroflow is an open-source post-processing software that offers video stabilisation based on gyro data recorded by the camera. As well as stabilisation, it can even correct rolling shutter artifacts.

As well as saving gyro data, the v01.04.05.10 firmware update for the DJI Action 2 also includes improved compatibility between the camera and Android 13 devices. DJI doesn’t say specifically what’s been improved, but it should result in fewer issues when using the Action 2 with Android 13 devices.
