With all the videos you are taking.

Please buy a tripod.

A least try a monopod.

You can make a monopod easy for under $5.00.

Go to a Menards or Home Depot and buy a length of 3/4 white PVC, a end cap and a Button head 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch bolt. It would be better if you have a 1/4-20 tap. Drill a hole in the cap for the tap or clearence. Carefully put some greese on just the threads of the bolt. Epoxy the  1/4-20 x 1/2 bolt in the cap with the button head inside the cap.

After the epoxy hardens you can easly remove any run over off the threads because of the greese.

Now you can make several lengths of momopods. One for standing, one for sitting inside your car, and one to prop in your belt or on something else.

You can quickly interchange the different length into the cap.

i have a tripod im not goin to take the time to put it up sometimes i dont even have time i only use when seeing more than one train

[trainfan1221]

Is it just me or on some of them do the flashers appear to be going off a real long time before the train actually shows up at the crossing?

[spikejones52002]

That is why I also suggested a Monopod.

It is cheep and simple.

It takes a lot of the shakes out of the video. Quick you do not even mount the camera to the monopod just setting the camera on a solid support helps.
