All of these images are fancier than necessary.

If you have a wooden baseball bat and know what the thread is on your camera, you can drill a hole in the center of the end of the handle, then clue a nut in there with the same thread. Using a threaded rod, or hacksaw off the head of a bolt - you screw it into the nut in the camera and the end of the baseball bat. Holding the bat handle at the top by the camera and letting the bat hang down will provide weight and stability and a perceptible center of gravity to your shots, especially when taking corners.

If you can't do that then use anything similar. Duct tape your camera to a 2x4, a stick, a hammer, a stack of soup cans, or a 2 litre soda bottle (frozen or fully filled so you don't record sloshing sounds).

Anything with weight and a hanging length, distributed wider is even better.

Yes, you may get tired. Prepare for that, and for better shots.
