I have used the Canon HV20 and HV30 to shoot many videos, mostly music related.
In addition to the camcorder I often mount a shotgun mic and a wide angle lens. I use a stablizer for virtually every hand held shot. There are a few stablizers that will work well with this rig,
Vidpro SB-10
Flashpoint SteadyCine
Glide Gear SYL3000
FlyCam Mozy
And I am sure there are several others. You can also find instructions for how to build your own if you are into DIY.
Go to websites like Adorama or B&H Photo or eBay and search for Camcorder Stablizer you will find several that will do the job.
