A tripod. When you don' t have trees, you gotta have one. We had the videographer try holding the camera on his shoulder, and it is just too shakey. Especially on rifle shots when he wouldn' t know they were coming. I plan to use a tripod every time, that way I' m used to it. I do flinch when I hear gunfire, so I' d be useless for shot scenes with loud noises.
