If your hands tend to shake while taking photos or recording videos on an iPhone, I would strongly recommend investing in a smartphone gimbal stabiliser, such as one from DJI, or a comparable product from another reputable brand. A good-quality stabiliser can cost around US$150, depending on the model and features.

A gimbal uses motorised stabilisation to compensate for hand movements, helping you capture smoother, steadier videos while walking, panning or recording moving subjects. It can make a significant difference, particularly when shooting videos for extended periods or capturing important family moments.

Alternatively, if you do not want to invest in a gimbal, use a tripod placed firmly on the ground or another stable surface. This is an excellent option for stationary photography, group photos, time-lapse videos and recordings where you want to eliminate camera shake.

Remember that even though modern iPhones offer excellent built-in optical and electronic image stabilisation, these features cannot completely compensate for every movement, especially when your hands shake considerably.

The bottom line: For videos recorded while moving, use a smartphone gimbal. For stationary shots, a sturdy tripod is often sufficient. Both options will generally deliver better results than relying on handheld recording alone.
