About

GyLog

Features
Read full description

GyLog is a motion data logger for Gyroflow stabilization. Record gyroscope and accelerometer data from your iPhone's sensors in GCSV format โ€” for custom post-stabilization of your own iPhone footage, or for pairing with any mirrorless or cinema camera. TWO WAYS TO USE With your iPhone โ€” While iPhone Action Mode and LOG bring built-in stabilization, GyLog hands the control back to you. Stabilize in Gyroflow with your own smoothness, cropping, and rolling-shutter settings โ€” beyond what automatic processing decides for you. With a mirrorless or cinema camera โ€” Mount your iPhone on any camera with a cold shoe adapter. GyLog turns your iPhone into a dedicated Gyroflow log recorder, capturing the motion your camera can't, so you can stabilize its footage in post. KEY FEATURES โ€ข GCSV format โ€” directly compatible with Gyroflow โ€ข Background motion logging โ€” keeps recording even when screen is locked โ€ข Mount angle calibration โ€” automatically detects phone orientation โ€ข Audio sync backup โ€” optional low-bitrate audio track for drift correction โ€ข High sampling rate โ€” up to ~100 Hz on supported devices โ€ข File management โ€” filter, select, share, and delete recordings โ€ข AirDrop & Files app โ€” easily export logs to your Mac for processing PRIVACY FIRST GyLog does not collect any personal data.
