Glad to have been able to 'salvage' a pretty great performance of "Creep" from Paris. Unfortunately, I didn't get any balcony video from Harry, so it depended on how well the image stabilization would work**.
At the time, I was trying to steady my tripod w/ one hand ( my sight was obstructed by a pillar, in order to see the whole stage, I ended up using the tripod as a monopod to reach around the pillar) and trying to also get some "B-roll" video w/ my iPhone in my other hand.
In addition, I was on a raised surface, next to where Angela was selling merch. Every other time Ray hit his bass drum, the floor vibrated. So in order to be 'postable', my Image stabilization had to compensate for all of that....
I think it turned out really well...
**to give you an idea how shaky the original video is, above 'haleyreinhart.com' in the lower right corner, if you look a little bit above the "h" and the "a" you can see a little 'dead' cell*** that is jumping around. Another dead cell you can see that's dancing around due to the image stabilization compensating for the shake, is around Jesse's head, you can see a tiny little red dot that dances around in that general area. Yet the video came out remarkably still 
***A Dead cell is an issue w/ digital DSLR cameras, it turns out. It's like a part of the digital matrix that's not receiving any information, so it looks like it's twinkling. Fortunately, I did a search on the internet, after I noticed it in Paris, and it turned out there was a way to reset it, so those dead cells no longer appear in my DSLR video 
BTS: Here's a capture of the image stabilization, you can see that I've marked a white square on the video where I want my viewing area to be. You can see I've actually cropped it quite a bit, leaving a lot of area around my selection. This is important because I'm giving the software alot of 'wiggle' room to move the viewing area around to keep the video subjects steady. Because the software is moving the video around to keep the subjects still, that's why you see the 'dead' cells dance around, it actually indicates how much the software has to work to hold Haley still....
If you look middle-right, to the right of the green/purple squares, those are rows of frames, two rows for two video files. Those are all single frames. The program processes each frame singularly when image stabilization is initiated, which takes alot of PC memory.
So the next step before I edit will be to output these, then use those clips to edit, minus the memory it takes for the stabilization, which results in alot of lag
PPS The audio is two combined. In the end, although the iPhone audio is rarely distorted, it's fairly thin, little depth. The best situation is to have 'supporting' audio to provide some bass & fullness to the sound. It came out pretty well in this case
