Feb 18, 2014 at 8:50 | comment | added | obelia | The only thing I can think of is to set the tripod lower. Wind is almost always at lower velocity closer to the ground, plus the mechanics of the tripod make it slightly more rigid with shorter legs.l Also you could stand upwind of the camera to break the wind - not sure what the ideal distance would be. | |
Feb 18, 2014 at 8:24 | comment | added | Hugo | @YaoBoLu I've tightened everything as much as possible, but I can't get rid of the internal twisting in the material itself, I need other sollutions. The movements are very slight indeed, but at long focal lengths it does matter. My tripod head is massive and very stable to begin with so not much can be done there. | |
