When I was in the Navy about 100 years ago we used a thing called the Mark 8 stable element which computed the roll, pitch, and zd-30 error signals to stabilize the guns. The cost might be a very large factor. Just kidding.

Use the Search function (above) and look for "shakey footage" in the Vegas Video forum. You'll find several good suggestions and links for dealing with your problem in post.

As for stability on the boat, would something like Glidecam, Steadycam Jr., etc., help?

Hi Randy,

I meant to post this earlier, got busy....

I am an avid wakeboarder. I have used the AirTrakker to record my friends and I wakeboarding. The website is waterskivideo.com.

It does work for the wakeboarding scenario, but you need to practice using it a few times to get the settings just right. The Airtrakker needs to mounted on a Tower (this is something a wakeboarding boat has, I don't know if a cruiseboat has it). There is another model that goes on the Pylon, but I am not sure it is as effective.

I see you are in CA, and I am not using my Airtrakker this summer, if you wanted to borrow it, (just pay shipping), we could work that out.

Hope this helps!
