ProView S3 Is A 3 Axis Stabilizer For Android and IPhone Video Shoots

The Pro S3 is claimed to be the industries first 3 Axis hand stabilizer stick for smartphones. If you take a lot if videos with your smartphone and want to give that cinematic edge to your video experience, then look no further. And yes, it can take selfies too! If you look at the companies promo videos, the video captures look silky smooth.

Even though OIS is available on high end smartphones, such great professional results cannot be achieved with just the phone software. The Team at Navin, a Taiwanese startup tries to address this with their ProView S3 project. As you would have expected, this is an Indiegogo project, and here is their promo video. See below:

They have already raised $374,618 USD (100% Funded) from various backers and is on track to deliver the product in the next couple of months. Currently it holds a pricetag of $160 and ships worldwide. The vertical portrait shooting mode with smartphones is also claimed to be an industry first.
