What are three key tips to hand-holding your camcorder?  How can you implement these starting today?

    Three key tips to hand-holding your camcorder are holding it close to your body, not zooming in too much, and choosing the best location. Holding the camcorder closer to your body helps make it more stable and also put less strain on your arms. Zooming in too much makes it harder to keep the subject in focus and makes smaller movements look bigger, causing the image to be shakier. Choosing the best location is important as having the right lighting elements and possibly composition will greatly improve the visuals and the ease when recording hand-held. I can implement these starting to day by remembering these tips; hold the camcorder close to my body, don't zoom in too much, and be aware of visual details like lighting and composition (rule of thirds, more light on the subject than the background, etc.)
