Hello! I’m Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. Let’s talk about consumer camcorders. Tripods, monopods, yes they’re very useful. On the bottom here, there’s a connection just like a still camera would have and that would connect to your tripod or monopode. A monopod is a single leg. So when you set it down it keeps it stable.

These little cameras can be a little hard to hold stable but you can get your hand in there and a good grip and rest your elbow into your side a little bit or lean against something and that can help.
