Hey! I am pretty new to camera use. I had shot some , video8, 8mm, and hi8 concert footage in the 90's. I just got 1080i HDV. I will now be taking it a bit more seriously of course. I shot some Slip stuff with a tripod on the NYE run. I had a date and didn't put too much effort into shooting this night. I did hand held the night before. Anyway some bass bombs shook the camera. Anyone have suggestions to avoid this for the future. I have thought about the tripod foam that comes in the (gimmick) Auralex Xpanders package. Haven't checked to see how they will fit on my tripod yet though. Seems like it could help but might not at all at the same time. I picked up a Platnum Plus 7500 from best buy. I needed it that day and it was the best one in the store. $80 I think.
