Minimizing a shaky shot
It is just a question for those who also use the cameras… not only the editing softwares …lol
Is it possible and is it true that I can minimize the camera shaking using the settings of 720p with 60fps (instead of 1080p with 30fps) and after shooting transcode it to 30fps (29.97) for a website (internet) and for a SD DVD ?Thanks in advance.

Nothing beats a tripod or a shoulder brace… fix it in production…

They will be “b-cameras” for B-footage to be used on a video clip. Pocket Cameras like the Sony Bloggie.

I agree with James comment “fix it in production”. Don’t plan to have a problem that needs fixing, instead plan to make it good from the start. Fix any mistakes in post as necessary.
Can you at least rig up a make shift steady cam for these little cameras? Even a mono pod with a small weight at the bottom can do wonders to help steady small handheld cameras. Extend the monopod to the ground when standing still or collapse it and move around freely. With a little practice, the weight acting as a counter balance can really help to smooth out handheld shots.
I looked at the Bloggie. Its tripod mount is on the bottom, orienting it in portrait mode. Probably not what you want. I found one guy on youtube who built a very cheap homemade bracket to mount it in landscape orientation.
At least if you rigged all the handheld cameras to something it would hopefully prevent anyone from shooting in portrait!
