[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 300063, member: 15805"] Amazing how the 'mistakes' they point out are used in photos in other portions of the article. Such as page 2, showing the center column extended, then page 3 says DON'T DO THAT! "High-pixel-counts cameras need to be stock-still"? Say what? And must use mirror lock? Since when? And why is 1/125 sec the cut-off point for requiring a tripod? If extending the bottom sections first is a mistake, then you simply bought the wrong tripod to begin with. Extending the lower sections first DOES NOT make a tripod less stable. If it does, then you bought junk. And carrying your camera on a tripod is no more dangerous than carrying it in your hand, on a strap, with a Black Rapid, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum ad infinitum. Yet another sad article that's obviously not written by a photographer. [/QUOTE]
