So this is a little different. I have a volunteer camera operator at my church that has Asperger's and during the worship time, there is no way to keep him from shaking his legs and bouncing up and down. The camera station is on a wooden platform and we are struggling to get the picture to not shake. His camera winds up being unusable during the worship time.

Any affordable options that has worked for anyone else?

Thanks!

I feel your pain. Volunteers can bring all sorts of challenges.

It sounds like you need a more stable platform. Is there a way to add cross bracing to the existing platform?

Maybe build a second platform/somehow split up the platform, so you have one for the operator and one for the camera.

It might be helpful to explore ways to stabilize the camera or adjust the platform, but I’m curious to hear what others have tried in similar situations!

@ cdwinans

I would explore cameras and/or lenses with internal stabilization options or an external gimbal/stabilizer system.
(Probably a lot cheaper than building a more stable platform)
