Often used with a DizzyCam and POVCam during a double twirl in two-person dance scenes to put us between the dancers, giving a greater sense of intimacy and excitement.

* Used throughout the music video for Music/{{Radiohead}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoLJJRIWCLU "Jigsaw Falling into Place,"]] co-directed by Creator/AdamBuxton and Creator/GarthJennings (of Hammer & Tongs, of ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' movie and "Coffee & TV", "Imitation of Life" and "Pumping on Your Stereo" music videos). It's rather disorientating.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEXgaEGpfHc reveal trailer]] for ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragonsDarkAlliance'' uses truly baffling camera work. It rapidly cuts between a few normal-looking third person shots, ShakyPOVCam shots, but most jarringly, half the shots are directly aimed in front of the characters with the stability turned up to eleven, making it look like they were recording themselves with a [=GoPro=]. Combined with the amount of action makes ''everything'' look disorienting and just makes the action look like they're flailing around like idiots.

Combined This with the amount of action going on makes ''everything'' look disorienting and just makes the action what's supposed to be an epic battle scene look like they're a bunch of people flailing around like idiots.

Aka the Bodymount Cam or [=SnorriCam=]: The camera is mounted on the actor's body and aimed at the face, so as the actor moves, their face remains steady and in focus while the background bounces and moves. Similar to the HeadCam, but the footage is looking in the opposite direction.
