In my guide to videoblogging, I recommend getting yourself a tripod to keep your videos from being too shaky, but it looks like this elegant, portable and best of all cheap solution will work nearly as well.

The plus side of using a tripod is that you don’t have to hold the camera the whole time, and can even walk away if you expect the person/action it is focused on to continue for an extended period of time. A tripod also makes it easier to take notes.
