Philadelphia Zoo Tiger in Lion Exhibit and Vice Versa

I love to watch videos of all big cats. They are all so alluringly beautiful.

How do you manage to keep the camera so still when you zoom in? Do you bring a tripod? ( I've considered doing that, haha! ) The cameras I tend to use supposedly have something to help with the camera shaking, but it doesn't seem to work for me, or perhaps I am actually horrible at filming, which is very possible.

@phantompanther I don't use a tripod so a lot of my videos are not very steady when I zoom in.

In this case, I was able to press the camera against the glass and lean my elbow on someone's shoulder to hold the camera steady.

Sometimes I wedge myself into a corner to support both arms, or crouch down and rest the camera on my knees. It just all depends on the situation.

@ZooVisitorMM Oh, okay!  Thanks! I try to do that too, but sometimes things get in the way, I can't seem to keep still, and/or my OCD starts to nag me. Great job at staying steady while you filmed this video!

Sweet vid! Tigers are my favorite big cat, and one of my favorite animals on this planet!

Really cool! I always miss it when the tigers and lions are shifted!

@justinp31233 It is really interesting to see how extra observant they are during these times.
