Video shaking on concert video

Question

I used a HDR-CX330, mounted on a tripod,  to record a club concert. I was sitting fairly close to the stage, so the music was pretty loud. The video has a pulsing shake throughout...pretty much every time the drummer hits the kick bass, the picture vibrates. My question is this: Is the percussion too much for the camera to handle, or do I need a better, more shock absorbent, tripod? I don't know if the shake is coming from the floor through the tripod, or if the percussion waves through the air are hitting the camera causing the shaking. The audio volume is not too much for the camera to handle audio-wise...the sound is not distorting at all, only the picture is affected Thanks for any input and/or suggestions.

Answer 1

The addition of weight as Anthony has suggested can help.
The only reason I mentioned the sound waves shouldn't have too much effect is on the assumption of your camera firmly locked down on the tripod.
So regardless, the most important thing to try is weighing down the tripod so that it's more stable.
Having something to absorb the floor vibration is definitely going to be important, but I'm not sure of the idea of using tennis ******, being that they're round, I feel that they'd counteract the idea of firm flat stability from the tripod. But it would depend on your purposes.
Maybe just having the sponges underneath is fine - good quality ones of course.
And regarding the sound waves, just make sure the camera is tight on the tripod, and again, the tripod is weighted down. Just be careful with this though - if the tripod is a low quality tripod, if the weight is too heavy, it'll end up pulling down the tripod a little.
Anyways, good luck.
