Good suggestion, I actually made a hand held thing out of pvc for my dslr, I'll take a pic and upload it later

As far as the sound, I edited the video last night using my Bose headphones and I have no complaint on the sound quality. I guess they made a big upgrade on the latest model. I could notice a few places the sound was bad, I think I had my fingers over the mic holes but that was easy to edit out.
