[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 190050, member: 6573"] I was slightly bored today and I decided to perform a test using my D800E, Nikon 300mm f4 mounted on my Gitzo GT3531S and Arca Swiss Z1 ballhead and a Nikon SB 800 mounted on the hot shoe. The test was to see how well my tripod and ball head handles slow shutter speeds and the effects of vibration using 1/30 shutter speed.
