Will make you look pretty stupid, but a pretty nifty
solution for stabilizing your camera.

Peter Jason:
Instead, tie the camera to a heavy brick. The weight of the
assembly will resist vibrations.


Sandman:
I sort of have the idea that in the idea in the link, the
stabilization will be from two points, not one. A dangling brick
will most likely make the camera more unstable, and even one
string you step on will only give it perpendicular stabilization,
while this three-point idea will give you both lateral and
perpendicular stabilization.


The camera is tied firmly to the brick; it doesn't dangle at all.


So.. the brick is on the ground? That kind of limits your movements,
doesn't it?
