…Here at 3DTV.com, your images can come to life, whether they’re stills or video. That’s because, besides providing a platform for presenting 3D directly, 2D photos and video can be converted to 3D with no effort (or cost) on your part. But a shaky camera or a bad angle while shooting is something that needs to be addressed when the image is first being captured. So say hello to tripods or, to be more 21st Century about it, stability-inducing devices.

Lets take as an example the recently introduced Belkin’s Live Action Camera Grip. Designed for the iPhone 4/4s and iPod touch, it wraps around the bottom of the iOS device so it’s not intrusive and connects to the syncing pins so there’s no wires. Working in conjunction with an app that lets you press the “trigger” to shoot makes sense, as does the sense of balance that the grip provides. Even better, there’s an integrated tripod mount if you need it, and separate buttons to immediately activate video or still shooting. When you place the grip on the iPhone, the app is automatically launched too (the app is free, btw). A timer device is also available and once fitted on the iPhone or iPod touch, you can activate it from up to 30 feet away using Bluetooth.

Should you want to take your mobile device darting through scenes, without making the audience flinch and exhibit “ACK” — then try the Steadicam Smoothie (for iPhone) or the Optika SteadyVid for digital cameras and camcorders, for example, the 3D Sony Bloggie or a 3D videocamera like those from DXG. Both let you move around while maintaining control over the image without having to use electronic means which, by definition, adversely affects the image being created since the image is being manipulated digitally (that’s why an optical zoom is superior to a digital zoom).  …
