POV shooters, need some pointers to stabilize footage

done about 30 something POV scenes in the past year, the first dozen were a wash, mostly due to camera inexperience, bad lighting, too shaky, etc... but im learning as I go. one thing I still haven't figured out for the life of me is how do you stabilize the camera when you're doing the girl doggystyle... let alone fit her in the frame so her face is visible in the distance. I have a camgrip stick under the cam and use the handstrap too but its almost like you need an extra arm or some kind of gadget arm to mount the cam over your shoulder. any tips on this appreciated. for now ive just resorted to the tripod angle but it makes the whole POV thing seem inconsistent when you toggle back from 3rd person to POV like this cap below, i'd rather do it entirely 1st person than this... advice welcome
