Appreciate that eric! I think for now, I need to concentrate on making some form of stabilization system before I try and find anything. It really is difficult with the jitters, and i'm a coffee drinker which doesn't help.
I was thinking a painters pole (or mop), which allows back and forth swivel (as from what I've read, it's the left and right rotation which really impact what you see).
Anyone here done the mop/broom/painters pole trick? When I get a bit of extra time up my sleeve, i'll go for that wooden contraption
