Re: Question about tripods

Just trying out a high-power zoom binocular, way too much power to
hand-hold. Haven't ever used tripods before, bought one that looks
pretty sturdy, but it's still jittery when I touch the binoculars -
tough to get focused on a particular spot before zooming in. Not sure
if it's a problem with this particular tripod, or whether it's simply
not possible to steady these things enough to be useable. Haven't
tried the image stabilized binocs yet, might hafta go that route, I
guess. Unless maybe I'm missing something about tripods in general?


I'd re-post to a birdwatching forum - they know
more about biniculars than anyone.

The tripod requirments for cameras are different
(albeit with some overlap, obviously)
