@javieralza yeah, you really need a crossbeam to stop the sideways wiggle of pan motion. The more it costs, the better it works.

Keep having lots of stupid ideas. And write them all down so they don't get lost. Test out the best ones. If they work, put them on youtube.

Here's the secret:  if you try to block your stupid ideas, then ***all** your ideas dry up. Your brain won't play with you anymore. See, it's impossible to have purely good ideas. If you try that, you're screwed. Instead, just have HUNDREDS OF IDEAS. Sort them out later.

It's not safe to run that fast on linoleum floors. :)

This is a decent quick fix but I suggest looking into the Cam Caddie SCorpion it's only $38 and it's done a great job getting me very smooth professional quality shots.
