How do I record a NDS speedrun?

Hello, guys, I want to run a NDS game and submit it to a leaderboard, but I don't know how I could record it. I bought a tripod, but the problem is that it stays in front of the screen and it's unavoidable that I shake the console a little while playing.

So, is there a way that I could capture gameplay from my NDS itself, considering it's and old console nowadays?

Thank you.

You'd have to purchase a capture card for the system. I don't know much about those for the DS, but they might be a little difficult to come by.

The problem is that it would be very expensive to import a NDS from that site. Import taxes here in my country are horrendous.

About shaking the DS, the rules of that game state that the screen must be visible at all times.

Anyway, thank you guys for your suggestions, I'll think about it.

I’ve never had a problem getting a run verified just by pointing my phone camera at my 3DS.
