user4426: What are the best techniques that you have seen for hidden camera filming? It would probably be on-body, so needs to minimise motion blur/judder. This isn’t a question about legality or ethics - just techniques.

user12233: I've been on guerrilla shoots where they had a GoPro peeking through an O on a protest sign, held at head height like the protester isn't actually protesting right this minute.
Also, I've seen a regular DSLR on a long lens, which whilst not technically hidden, is so unremarkable in public that no-one noticed.
The boom op had a mic up his sleeve.
Half the movie 51 Degrees North was shot using these tactics, though it does require that some of the people in the scene are placed, or that the crowd is large enough that these things go unnoticed.
For instance, the flash crowd at Piccadilly Circus were mainly in on it. The tube scene had a carriage-full of SAs taking up most of the space, to get the reactions right whilst the principals & crew ran the scene for a whole morning between stations without TfL catching on that the shoot was taking place.
Behind glass [shop window etc] can also work, if your subject is fairly static.
