Horizon Camera: it’s not just an app; it’s a revolution for your photos and videos. Imagine an application that irons out the crinkles of your crooked captures, transforming them into magnificent masterpieces of horizontal glory. Whether hanging off the side of the Grand Canyon or filming while doing cartwheels, Horizon Camera ensures every moment you record is as balanced as a ballerina on a tightrope. Awarded as one of the top Android Apps of 2014 by TechRadar, Horizon is the wizard behind the curtain of your vertical video woes.
THE WAR AGAINST VERTICAL VIDEOS
The issue with vertical videos is genuine. It’s such a global challenge that it’s a modern-day epidemic: the Vertical Video Syndrome (VVS). Horizon Camera is our savior, the much-needed antidote for this pervasive malaise. According to Android Police, Horizon Camera “wages war on vertical videos,” and it does so using an unexpected ally, your device’s accelerometer. The app cleverly uses this feature to ensure your videos are always parallel to the ground, making your smartphone a nifty 1-axis gimbal rig.
YOUR VIDEO, YOUR RULES
Take the reins and manipulate your content the way you want it. With Horizon Camera, you have options at your fingertips whether toggling between the back and front camera or opting for different video resolutions, including VGA, HD, and Full HD. Your recording, your rules! Need to save to your SD card? Sure thing. Fancy starting/stopping recording using the hardware camera button or volume buttons? Absolutely. You can even take photos while recording!
FEATURES THAT PACK A PUNCH
Unleashing the power of Horizon Camera means accessing a plethora of compelling features. The app offers three video quality options: High, Medium, and Low, to help you manage your storage space efficiently. You can also enjoy three leveling modes: Flex, Rotate, and Locked, giving you complete control over your video’s orientation. Did we mention other apps that can launch Horizon to record a video? Yes, it’s that versatile and handy!
IN-APP PURCHASES THAT PAY OFF
While Horizon Camera offers an incredible experience for free, some nifty extras make it even better. Unlock additional functionality like priority customer support, the removal of the Horizon logo, ad removal, and access to future features through in-app purchases. The choice is yours: stick with the impressive free version or enhance your experience with these premium perks.
GEARING UP FOR HORIZON
Ready to embrace the beauty of horizontal video capture? Make sure you’re prepared. The requirements are simple: your device should run Android 4.3 or above and be equipped with an Accelerometer or Gyroscope. And for CyanogenMod users, ensure that Privacy Guard allows Horizon to use the microphone for successful video recording.
In the immortal words of Gizmodo, “Do the world a favor and download it; after all, it’s free.” So, end the Vertical Video Syndrome today and join the Horizon Camera revolution. After all, why tilt your head when you can list your perspective?
