I use a small home made fig rig to keep it steady. It's akin to mounting it in the middle of a steering wheel. That way extra accessories can be attached if required, like a mic or some small lights. It also allows me to hold it very steady and move quickly as my hands are further apart when shooting. I'm about to get a Canon 7d for work as I progress into HD filmmaking but I'll hang onto my Flip so that I can attach it to things. I'm about to make a short film about high speed remote control cars and I'll use the Flip to mount on one of the vehicles and use the footage as picture in picture, for example. I will make a quick tutorial on my fig rig in the coming weeks should anyone be interested in making one. It's a brilliant little camera. I made a documentary film with mine on the G20 Demo last April. You can see it at http://paultreacy.com/video along with several more Flip shorts. Now, if only Flip would add an external mic socket. That would be well cool, would it not? Flip, are you listening? Paul Treacy http://paultreacy.com http://photohumourist.com I’ve been using a Flip Mino for a couple of years now and I love it.
