This invention relates to portable electronic video recording devices.
In the past, video cameras have been bulky, and those in most widespread use have been hand-held or, in some cases, shoulder mounted. Such devices have been prone to producing shaky pictures as a result of the unsteadiness of the operator's hands. Also, it has been difficult to film a subject without that subject's being aware that he is being recorded. As a result, the subject tends to behave other than normally, due to self-consciousness.
