Steady Handheld Shots

 What are the tips that John gives to give steady shots in this video?  How can you use this in your next video?

A simple tip he gave, was that if you have a small handheld camera, you can pit the strap around your neck, and that'll give you 3 points of contact on the camera, resulting in a steadier shot. Walk heel to toe, with your toes facing as high up as possible. Make sure you lower your center of gravity. The faster you go, the lower your center of gravity. This'll make sure your upper body is as stationary as possible. Some other simple tips to make your videos less shaky is to shoot as wide as possible, keep your shutter speed at double your frame rate, and enable image stabilization.
