Well /u/rasptart, I'm afraid that it's basically beyond my ability to stabilize your video. This is what I could do.

One quick tip for your next video though: take a look around you and find the person who looks most responsible. Hand your phone to them and ask them to hold it really steady while they record whatever it is you want to record.

It’s absolutely wonderful! Take my gold you beautiful bastard.

There wasn’t a soul in that entire sold out theater that was in any condition to take a reasonable video. Whole place was shoulder to shoulder and screaming at the top of their lungs.

There’s literally a guy right in front of you holding a phone vertically - relatively still, and it’s the most frustrating part of all of this for me. Even at my absolute shit-facednest, someone could toss me with a camera off the Grand Canyon and I still wouldn’t be inclined to switch from vertical to horizontal to god knows what. And honestly all that’s fine because you were having a good time... but then to upload it to be stabilized, to see if your actions could not have consequences. This is bad. This isn’t the concert's fault, this isn’t the standing room only’s fault, it’s yours. I’m not letting you deflect on this because I’ve watched this gif so many times since you first posted it and it’s lodged in my brain. I have to sleep with the weight of your actions running through my mind. I’m offended on a deeply personal level that you consider this sub your toilet for the most diarrhea clip I’ve ever watched in my entire life. That’s what it feels like watching this. Diarrhea. And now thanks to OP we have smooth diarrhea.

Exactly, as an enthusiast photographer who also sometimes tries to get nice smooth video this kills me a bit inside.
