Trying out different methods to stabilize the very shaky Kodak Zi6. The problem is that the device itself has so little mass, that it shows every tiny little movement that your hand gives it. By adding more mass, and moving the center of balance off of the device, it gets a lot more stable.

I tried out: Bogen pocket tripod, Bogen tripod head plate, Top half of my steel-pipe based camcorder stabilizer, and just the top pipe of the camcorder stabilizer.

I thought the mini tripod would give the best results, and to an extent it works well, but the more mass you throw at the camera, the better the resulting video looks
