Late again, but I'm just catching up on what's on this site. I go along with all the above comments. There is an element of 'I've filmed it so I'm going to include it', but it did give the flavour of the day.
As for keeping the camera still, tripods can get in everyone's way, if you need to move around, a monopod can be a very useful accessory (you don't feel quite so pretentious eIther

)
