• To setup the shot: • Make sure there’s enough free storage space. • The amount of storage space required will vary, but you should try to allow around 1.3GB per 10mins of footage. While it differs for most devices, you can generally check the available space under: • Settings > Navigate to ‘Storage’. • If you don’t have sufficient space, backup some photos/videos/files to your laptop or another device and remove them from the phone.

It’s not necessary to go this high for most videos (you’ll just burn through your phone storage!), but it’s up to you to decide what’s best for you! Stop the shaking:
