Shoot steady iPhone video with Zgrip iPhone PRO - http://www.tuaw.com/2009...

Filed under: Accessories, Multimedia, iPhone ZGrip iPhone from Steve Weiss, Zacuto USA on Vimeo. A few weeks ago, I shot a video of myself riding a bike around. The result was a bit jumpy, as you might imagine, so I used iMovie 8's stabilization feature to eliminate the shakiness. The result is nice and smooth, but also artifical looking. I assure you, I was not moving that slowly. If only there was a steady cam-like apparatus for the iPhone. Check out the Zgrip iPhone PRO by Zacuto. The fully articulated arm holds the iPhone in place and several adjustable pivot points allow you to get interesting angles. We haven't played with one, but it sure looks pretty cool. Before you scoff, check out what some people have done with video on the 3GS. The Zgrip iPhone PRO is available now and costs $295US (a low-cost consumer version is forthcoming). [Via Coudal Partners] TUAWShoot steady iPhone video with Zgrip iPhone PRO originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Mon, 06 Jul...

$295 is absurd. Also absurd is the fact that he wasn't sure that Alex Lindsay's iPhone mount was a joke. And their lighting sucked.

I got the same f-ing thing! It went from China to Hong Kong to Anchorage (which is only 200 miles from me), then went all the way to Louisville, KY where it's being HELD! Now it has to come ALL THE WAY BACK to Anchorage!!!

It's happening to eveyone Leo. I was suppose to get mine today. I called UPS and they are indicating that it is a hold for US customs and that it is scheduled for delivery by noon on the 18th. (tomorrow)

I don't get it. It says the receiver requested the hold and not the shipping agent

The same thing happened when I was waiting for my Leopard disk. Fedex held all the packages until the Apple shipdate. I remember the frustration.

I'm a developer and got the 3.0 GM last week. There's not a whole lot of new stuff you can use right now. Actually the only useful things available right now is copy and paste and find my iphone (and thats only if you have mobile me). Other than that it's not even a really big deal.

Looks like the UK gets 3Gs before the US... YAY

Serves you right for broadcasting that you were due to get it early

@Tom, Louisville is where customs is for UPS. You would think Alaska, but it's Louisville.
- Robb McMahan
Didn't UPS use to have a estimated delivery date listed? Where did that go?
- Ryan Cates
Seriously, how can it hurt if a few people get it early? Is there really a good reason? Maybe Apple needs to have the iTunes server set up for it or something?
- Jeff Anderson
that's just messed up
- Alfredo
there must have been a missed bribe somewhere.....
- John Hillestad
so the receiver is Apple?
- gerald miller
Everyone is experiencing the hold. This is the kind of details Apple goes to to ensure they control the experience for all. It reminds me of one evening during 2001 WWDC when Apple ordered Domino's pizza for everyone for dinner.

I bet the delivery driver has a pre lol

so if you puts your money down Apple can just stop it?sorry I'm naive.

Apple website states Apple iPhone 3Gs Available June 19.

Robb, I too had been using 3.0 since last week and I wrote a post to help people decide whether to upgrade to iPhone 3G S or not. http://tr.im/oDB5
- Vinko
that's pretty frustrating, At least you already have an iPhone, it's not like you are going to a whole new device, where you would be super excited.
- Calum
Isn't that amazing! You, the receiver, asked to hold the shipment! Sounds like there is a UPS issue.

It looks like Apple doesn't want Leo to get his iphone until the official release Friday.
- Garmon Estes
I was sad to see this when i woke up this morning :( I'm still on the 1st gen iPhone.
- Erik
Denied! This happened with Leopard when they shipped it - some people were getting it early and Apple tried to stop UPS by putting a 'do not deliver before' date on them. Nice try though. At least we get 3.0 before Friday.
- Mike
I ordered mine from AT&T last Tuesday. They claim that it will ship overnight on the 18th, so I'll have it on the 19th. My order status still shows "not shipped" which is consistent.
- Joey Gibson
Why'd they put a hold on it?
- Adam C.
@MuscleNerd of iPhone_dev said this: "Those of you tracking your new iPhone 3GS and see "receiver requested a hold" -- don't worry, UPS says it's just a U.S. Customs thing"
- Brian
I'm pretty sure Apple's shipping rate is based on delivery on a certain day, regardless of when the items get to the hub. It allows the UPSs of the world to plan their resources. And all overnight shippers are based on the hub and spoke system, so it can sometimes feel like they are going out of their way. "Why didn't they stop at my house? They had to fly right over it!" Besides, doesn't Apple deserve to have an actual product launch day? When the phones actually ... launch - not dribble in for a few days?
- Ed Hunter
Wonder if someone intercepted the package first? (as in stolen)
- James Hague
Leo it´s Apple, they heard you had bought one of their products and as usual decided to lower the price. But they couldn't do it fast enough so they needed the hold. LOL sorry couldn't resist.
- Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
Appleinsider says that Apple is holding up the phones until it is officially released in stores on Friday.
- gerald miller
Please do not adjust your sets... we are in control of the horizontal and vertical.. your friends at Apple Computers....

Yes I think everyone is having the iPhone 3Gs put on hold and will be delivered Friday.
- Michael King
Yup, I have the same thing. THIS close! Ugh. One can hope that the clerical errors that always seem to happen will happen in someone's favor and they will get it early.
- Aaron T. Harvey
wow! leo is tracking his new iphone. NOT SUPRISING AT ALL
- Jonah W. Kemp
Apple is acting very weird based on years of past behavior. In past this type of shipment would arrive early and the Iphone update would have been released late yesterday (stayed up an extra hour to caught the update on the east coast). - new guys running the ship.
- Ed Boutros
I have had this same problem and I am disappointed too, but the real mistake was not that the phone will show up on the 19th, it's that UPS was showing it would arrive earlier. Apple's website claimed it would deliver on the 19th but UPS had scheduled deliveries for the 17th and 18. This one is on UPS in my opinion. As long as the phones arrive on the 19th, Apple has kept their promise and done their job
- Grant
What's frustrating is that the date of delivery is unknown. The phones could still be delivered on June 18 and people could receive the phones on Friday. However, it would be frustrating to receive the phones after Friday.
