Camera Steadiness
The importance of camera steadiness in underwater video
Single most important thing that differentiates beginner/amateur from professional or experienced hobbyist
Wobbly footage makes viewer "seasick". Irritating to watch
Larger housings tend to handle steadier because of more inertia (buoyancy at top, weight at bottom)
Disguise wobbles by moving (e.g. drifting across reef rather than trying to hold completely static)
