ha, I believe Yoan's always done that. I actually remember him explaining to me - nearly ten years ago already - that it's something he got from the Japanese; both go by the logic that the moving vig only adds motion and energy to the image. I can see why some people would find it distracting; frankly, I never even notice it myself until people point it out. the YouTube comments on Yoan's videos have always been pretty funny in that regard: "how does one film so well yet constantly forget about steadyshot?". skateperception era was particularly golden because he'd keep getting that from kids who had just gotten their first VX's and read the basic instructions for it on that site, like they were going to teach him that.
