Hi Fred, Yes, I've been working on it, and either practice or exercise (or most likely both) I've gotten to where it's not the daunting chore that it once was. One thing that helps me is to face the camera towards me, and cradle it with my left hand, and do like you said with my right hand. *Much* better than the way I used to do it (though I still prefer the lift and turn of the ME Super). Thanks for the tip, Fred.
