I've noticed some participants here obsess about steadiness. It seem to be equated with professionalism in their mind. I guess they missed the last two decades of television and cinema. There's nothing wrong with a little waving, the camera doesn't need to glide magically into space like a disembodied omniscient eye. Viewers will accept camera movement that is not transparent, in fact they don't care. Of course, things like motion control were traditionally associated with big cinema, that's probably what this obsession is all about, to emulate hollywood.
