    Hi everybody, I was filming a rock drummer recently. I had my XDCAM on tripod, but every time he kicked on the kick drum, there was noticeable shake of the camera. Is there some easy/not so expensive way to solve this problem? Thanks

    2 things to try. One is to bring your own separate riser or three apple boxes and set up behind him over his shoulder. The other is to add a sandbag to the middle of your tripod (or hang it if you have one with a hook under the head) just make sure it’s not TOO heavy.
