1.2. Use a tripod
As cameras become smaller and lighter, they also become more unstable and more sensitive to movement. Although many of today’s cameras are already equipped with image stabilisers, this is a common problem, especially in mobile devices. Therefore, whenever possible, it is advisable to stabilise the camera when recording to avoid shaking or unwanted movements, especially if you are planning to pan or do any other camera movements.
For more information on camera movements, see the following article.
Record with a tripod or a selfie stick (some models also incorporate the option of including a tripod). Alternatively, in case of emergency, you can also take advantage of some element of the environment that can help you to support the camera a little (such as a table, a chair or bench, a wall, etc.).
