I'm fond of the flash-bracket handles made for 35mm (still ;-)
cameras... I use a big, hurky one for my VX-1000s (loosening the
bottom mounting screw to turn it for packing the camcorder) and
a folding one for my TRV-9 (removing and folding it for packing).
These give me a comfortable way to hold the camcorders when
they are not in use, and give me a bit more stability and control
when hand-holding while shooting video.
