Probably just holding it against the window. I’ve done it before at home, and I don’t think the ISS vibrates much (could be wrong).

For 65 seconds it’s pretty hard to not move the camera, even when pressed against something. Seems like there would be an easy solution, just curious what it is

Maybe taping it to the window? There’s no gravity, so it wouldn’t take much

That would leave a tape residue. Bungies are probably the easiest method. Most good cameras have a tripod mount. So you can bring up a mounting adapter that can grab onto a hand-hold or other available hard point.
