Does anyone know of any good video Stabilisation software, preferably free or not too expensive. I have been using Microsoft Hyperlapse but the trial installation has now expired and with the few videos I make I cannot justify the cost of the full version. Unless I pay for the upgrade the final version appears with a watermark.
Thanks.

Software stabilisation software is pretty useless...I would suggest getting a Gimbal for the Camera instead. Otherwise, some video editing software has it (e.g. premiere Elements)

I've used Movavi from time to time which does an OK job. Obviously better to have stable video to start with though.

Thanks, but I'm talking about video taken with the GoPro attached via a chest or head harness whilst walking. Walking and carrying a gimbal at the same time in mountainous terrain strikes me as possibly a bit awkward.

I've just got a trial version of that which I'm testing out.

That's exactly what I'm talking about: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=we...

Just watched a video of the TMB and was impressed by how little camera shake and movement there was. I contacted the author who assured me that he used a GoPro on a selfie stick. Maybe then chest/head mounts followed by stabilisation are not the answer. I'm reverting to putting a handlebar mount on one of my trekking poles.

The in-camera electronic stabilisation on the GoPro 5 (Session 5 and the full size one) is pretty damn good. I've used many previous GoPros (and other action cams) and very impressed how stable the Session 5 footage is.

Mine's a 4 but I'm going to run some tests this weekend

If there is a selfie stick/pole in the foreground of the shot then it looks more stable as there is a consistent point of reference for the viewer. It can make all of the difference when filming when moving - but does make it harder to film scenery etc.

Holding the camera out at arms length works too - but only makes sense when talking to the camera like this:

Have you tried Galluscam?

I've used it occasionally, however some counties have a restriction on use of the system especially if you want to travel with your own unit. (China is very restrictive - I think you need to get a special H1 permit...or maybe it's N1?)
