Avoid Camera Shakes

I review a lot of video footage of our clients. Not because I’m nosy, but because I want to ensure the transfer quality is excellent, that there are no glitches, blackouts or added flicker on the finished DVD.

But the part I cannot do anything about is camera shake. The videographer may have good intentions in panning left, right, zooming in and out, trying to catch every development, but it gives us viewers a headache.

The best way to kill a camera shake is a 3-legged camera tripod. Even monopods – it collapses to a stick, is handy to carry around and allows quicker swivel movements – makes a big difference.
