Hmm, I fixed a shaky one in a shared kitchen without buying parts... No tools. First I washed and dried the threads where the jar meets the blade base, then reseated the rubber ring so it lay flat and even. If it is cross threaded the blade sits crooked which screams and vibrates. I tightened by hand, backed off a touch, then tightened again to be sure it was square. Next I moved it to the sturdiest corner of the counter and made sure the cord had slack so it was not tugging the base. Starting on low while holding the lid with one hand and resting the other hand lightly on the jar steadied the first second, then I let it run on its own. That stopped the walking and cut the noise a lot.

For reading in bed without straining your eyes and I'd go with the Kindle Paperwhite because its adjustable front light lets you dim it just right for comfort, and the glare-free display makes it feel like reading a real book even in the dark. One minor thing is that it's black and white only, but that hasn't been an issue for me, and it keeps the price reasonable while still being a solid choice.

I prefer an adhesive base for stability, but I still add a little insurance. A MagSafe case with a strong ring gives the magnets more bite, and a small support shelf under the phone takes the weight on rough roads so the magnet is not doing all the work but then thought it was the mount but it was the cable tugging the whole time, go figure, so keep the charging cable slack and you will see a big drop in wobble.

Compatibility is almost always there because the chest harness side is the GoPro quick release and the camera side is the two prong hinge that accepts a thumbscrew. If your compact uses that same hinge it will mate with any harness plate because the latch and plate dimensions are standardized across brands. only time it will not fit is when the camera only exposes a 1/4 inch tripod thread or a proprietary shoe, in which case an adapter makes it work.
