EmailThe Holiday Season is upon us; which means it's time to start thinking about (and buying) some gifts for the people in your life. Whether you are looking for a gift for a friend, family members, or yourself, we have some great ideas for you here at VJ. One such gift is the Zhiyun Smooth III Smartphone Stabilizer.
The Zhiyun Smooth III is a stabilizing gimbal for your smartphone that will give you perfectly smooth video, every time you use it.
Shooting video with smartphones is amazing. It's easy, unassuming, shoots great quality video (4K even now) and you can edit and share it right from your device. One of the drawbacks of using smartphones is shaky footage. As smartphones are lightweight, when you shoot with them you are prone to get some small shakes throughout your video which can make it look less professional and distract the viewer. A gimbal, like the Zhiyun, keeps your phone steady no matter what movement may make you and your hands shake.
The Zhiyun is designed for smartphones, so all you have to do is clip your phone in and you're ready to use it. It is a 3-axis gimbal so no matter which way you move, your video will remains smooth. The gimbal comes with a companion app so you can monitor, control, and review your footage.
The Zhiyun Smooth III has a high price tag at $299, but if you or someone you know shoots a lot of video professionally with a smartphone, this is a great gift for them. Buy it now from Amazon.

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.
What TV News Could Be

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.
