Camera that can help offset tremors? - Lemmy.zip

Are there any cameras that dont break the bank but also have decent stabilization? Ive used a tripod in the past with one of my dads old cameras (No idea what kind of Canon, but i know it used film). However, the tripod only helpped so much as the pictures were still blurry. I’ve noticed recently that my tremmors have been getting worse. And would like to at least say I tried to get into this hobby before I’m unable to keep soup on my spoon.

Have you tried using a tripod + cable release? When you are not touching the Camera directly, your tremors shouldn’t matter. If you have enough time, tripod + self-timer should work even better.
Mentioned that set up in my comment to someone else. Which i think would work but really only for stills?

There are also these pole things. Instead of three legs it’s just one.

And I believe there are telescoping so you can set it as you like. Much easier to move around with it. And it just helps steady your shot.

Also a tip for hand tremors.

Motor tremors are caused by two opposing forces in the brain. One of causing the motor action and the other attempting to isolate the “command”. When the command is not isolated very well, tremors happen.

Both of these two processes I mention work together. In equal “power”. (Except in Parkinson’s).

What this means is that the more force or intensity you apply to a motor command, the higher chance you have of causing tremors.

The best way to steady your hand isn’t by increasing force to “control” the tremor but by doing the exact opposite.

Loosen your grip and force as much as possible without dropping the camera (I always suggest a neck strap).

Practice using the least amount of force needed to hold the camera.

It can take a little practice to find the sweet spot before your command is too weak and the camera falls.

But you get what I’m saying right? Hope im explaining it sufficiently.

Relaxed hands reduce tremors.

Monopods. Definitely recommend. I’ve got one I use for “handheld” shooting with a heavier lens as well.
