If possible, use a french made AIRSTAR helicopter with three rotor blades. Two bladed copters tend to go from side to side as the rotors turn. A three bladed copter is much steadier. Bell Rangers are 2 blade, as are all of the Robinson and Rotorway choppers. If you can stay around 500 feet high, that will help. Shoulder mount is OK if you are moving. Hovering is more shaky. The more zoom, the more shake.
If you have the door open, tie yourself in really good. Tape your belt buckle. Have fun.
Good luck!
