When buying a high definition hands free video recorder of any type, it’s crucial to get one with a top quality gyro sensor on it; of course that’s assuming you care at all about shooting quality videos.
What is a Gyro Sensor?
Basically a gyro sensor is a device that tells the camera where it is. Is it twisting, turning, bouncing up and down, etc?
The importance of this is seen when you record video without the use of a stable tripod, or in other words most of the time. The sensor collects information on the location and relative positioning of the video camera and enables it to record video that is stable and not bouncing all over the place.
Without a good gyro sensor, your point of view video will inevitably be choppy and bouncy. A video that is bouncing and shaking all over the place is worthless.
This one component stabilizes the video and drastically improves it’s overall quality.
