ZeroShake by Sarapan Co., Ltd (Free, 8.9 MB): This video recording app brings a lot of great features from the classic handheld camcorder to your iPhone. As the app name clearly implies, one of the functions is image stabilization. Just like with the handhelds, shake or jitter reduction isn't perfect and has a small quality drawback, however, it is still useful for those who are active videographers. In addition, even if that feature doesn't grab your interest, ZeroShake includes other valuable tools, such as up to 6x completely manual or assisted smooth digital zoom, three video quality and three focus settings, manual color correction, six lead in and fade out effects, 11 filters, date stamp and other captioning, as well as export to camera roll and sharing via Facebook. The app is initially in trial mode and full functionality will cost upwards of $8.97 to unblock a 30-second time limit restriction, video import ability, and remove the ZeroShake watermark.
