Yes Frank, you do need to be rock solid.....and I'm not. I have invested in a monopod...and today I took my Gorillapod, but used the rail of the pier to rest my elbows on.
The only thing wrong with this camera is that there is no remote shutter release..and for the super zoom shots there should be. I know that the alternative is to put it on the timer....it would just be good if Panasonic could bring out some optional release cable....it would have been better still if it had been wireless ...but then of course this adds to,the cost.
I am hoping to get out and about a bit more this summer....so there may be some interesting shots.....or it might just be more of the same.
