Got a camera without in-body image stabilization? This DIY photography hack adds camera stabilization to ANY camera! There are still many cameras that don't possess in-body image stabilization (IBIS). If you’ve ever tried to handhold a shot with a slow shutter speed, or you’ve tried to expose an image at night with minimal light and no tripod, you’ll no doubt have ended up with plenty of camera shake in your images. In-body image stabilization enables you to shoot without those wobbles, whether you’re trying to take a handheld shot or you want to keep your shutter speed as low as possible to let more light into your frame. Thankfully, we’ve got something that’s better than in-body image stabilization: YBIS – your body image stabilization! Using "YBIS", you can shoot at much lower shutter speeds without camera shake (1/6 sec, f/1.8, ISO500) (Image credit: Alis Volat Photography) Using "YBIS", you can shoot at much lower shutter speeds without camera shake (1/6 sec, f/1.8, ISO500) You then simply loop the cord and fasten your belt through the middle, then attach the hook to the D-ring. Your belt will now act as an anchor point, enabling you to pull the cord taught as you raise it to your eye; this tension will keep the camera steady (especially if the viewfinder is pressed against your eye socket), enabling you to as much as double your handheld shutter speed! 01 Put a ring on it (Image credit: Future) 02 Twist and turn (Image credit: Future) 03 Rope-a-dope (Image credit: Future) 04 Cord blimey, guvnor (Image credit: Future) 05 Belt up (Image credit: Future) 06 Captain hook (Image credit: Future) 07 Strong and stable (Image credit: Future) More videos: Photography tips and techniques videos DIY softbox: how to build your own lighting modifier Pinhole photography: make your own pinhole camera using a body cap Terms and conditions Privacy policy Cookies policy Advertise with us About us
