How to ensure steady video using M50/M6ii - tripod/monopod/something else?
1

I'm a long-time photographer using all manner of kit (from 1970s rangefinder to the latest mirrorless). I have shot very little video with a "stills camera" like my M50 so have very little experience using these cameras for video. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality ( I used it for kitesurfing) using my EF-M 55-200 that I shot on a recent vacation. The video was a little shaky however as it was all hand-held or leaning against a tree.
As I do not fancy carrying a tripod on holiday what do the folk here use to improve the stability of their video footage? Any suggestions welcome as I intend to use my M50 more and more for video...
