Topic: Keeping the camera still

We would like to know how to keep our camera's still when filming. We have a tripod, but no matter how tight you screw in the camera, it wobbles. We don't want to do anything that costs to much money, as we're barely scrounging around for pennies right now. Please list anything that you think would help with this problem.

Re: Keeping the camera still

It would help if you listed what kind of camera you want steady.

Re: Keeping the camera still

Just picture in your head a normal camcorder. That's basically what ours is.

Re: Keeping the camera still

Im not seeing it. Can't you just give me the real name of the camera? Even googling that name finds nothing.

Re: Keeping the camera still

Stick it down with blue tack

Re: Keeping the camera still

Those are great ideas, but we guess we'll just buy a new camera whenever we go to target. (Nothing special, just a 25.00 one that stays still).

Re: Keeping the camera still

Now, I would normally use a tri-pod. And if you are still knocking it about. Try taping the lego base or tri-pod to the table. Also, if you are using a webcam, try taping that to the surface its placed on. Or build a base out of lego bricks.

Re: Keeping the camera still

Juggernaut if youre going to buy a new camera, buy a webcam. quickam pro 4k or 9k's are wise choices.

the 4k sucks! It's your own choice but I don't suggest it! (I hope google translate didn't lied to me)

Re: Keeping the camera still

Hint: the QuickCam 4000 has been the most popular choice of webcam amongst brickfilmers for years because for years it has the best webcam available to consumers.

Re: Keeping the camera still

really?! mini/confused

Re: Keeping the camera still

make a camera. And JP, your sig is an epic fail.

Re: Keeping the camera still

Yeah I have a 4000 and well if you check out my walking tests you will see the crappy quality.

Re: Keeping the camera still

I don't see how this is BAD quality.
