I like your work, Dennis. Great and informative commentary. Good steady shots, slow pans, tilts and zooms. A tripod would be better, but can be a problem when travelling. Have you used a "bagpod" ? (a small bag filled with granular material for use as a camera base on a table or fence-top etc, or to brace against a vertical surface). I look forward to viewing your other videos.
@rbalse Hi, thanks for the nice comment. I do try to hold it steady, and this show was shot with a very small camera making for more of a challenge. In recent years I'm using a monopod nearly all the time and find it the perfect solution -- keeps things steady yet doesn't slow me down. I like the Manfroto version with the fluid barrel and tiny legs on the bottom for panning. And I've learned that short, slow smooth moves are the way to go -- otherwise hold it still and let action happen.
Really great footage and commentary! But you should mention Amiens is in Picardy in the title.
