if it has a handle on top id use that,
and this is a tip i got from film school, havent tried it though,
take a book or something heavy like that and tape glue whatever to the bottom of top plate off a tripod then atach to the camera, instructors explaination was more weight helps prevent sudden jerks of the camera and produces a smoother shot
id give it a go and tell you how it works but, i sold my camera a few months ago
