[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 297555, member: 14443"] I shot group shots of 20 people with a 70-200 VR1 at the 100mm setting. no tripod. came out fabulous. send the brides maids my way ;) I dont use a trpod at all in weddings I shoot. no need. no need because if youre shooting people, slowing the shutter speed doesnt help with blur and I will shoot big groups at 50mm at 1/125 and thats more than enough for a sharp image. low light? no problem bump up the iso on the FF sensor, use some of my off camera flash to bounce some light and make everything nice and soft. when I was shooting film and iso 200 film for mainly everything, a tripod helped, but not today. you asked for weddings and I dont see a need for one. if you feel you need one then great. use what YOU need that you feel will help you get the shot you need. weddings in my country start at 9pm and we shoot with no tripod. I have a few tripods and dont use any of them. My biggest is bogen 3038 ball head and 3221 legs. havent taken it out of its pouch for a long time. whats your budget? if your wallet is thin, take a look at the company benro. they make nice tripods at lower prices. if you have the bucks then gitzo is DA BEST! personally havent used a tripod yet at a wedding with digital but I do always carry a bracket that will allow me to use a camera on my off camera speedlight light stand [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flash-Shoe-Umbrella-Holder-Light-Stand-Bracket-Adaptor-6830-/261358250528?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item3cda2a6a20[/url] I can connect it to the bottom, adjust what I need and while its not a perfect solution, its very useable IF I ever needed one.
