Even the slightest vibration can greatly
affect the results of super-telephoto shooting. A stable tripod and camera
platform designed to stabilize your equipment are indispensable.
While there is no way to avoid vibrations when following a moving subject,
using the right equipment can ensure you avoid vibrations caused by the
equipment itself. Using the camera's continuous capture mode and taking
as many pictures as possible in a variety of shooting situations will
help you to successfully capture images of moving subjects. |

 Cable release |
Pressing the shutter release button directly with
your finger can cause the equipment to vibrate. Use a cable release
to gently release the shutter and prevent equipment vibration.
We recommend that you use the Fieldscope Digital Camera Bracket FSB
series and fitting. |

 |
| Tripod |
Choose a stable tripod to stabilize your equipment.
Because you won't need to replace it frequently, choose a solidly
built tripod to prevent your equipment from falling. In unbalanced
situations, you cannot concentrate on shooting. A bigger tripod is
not always better, as mobility is also an important factor.
Aluminum tripods are heavier than carbon fiber models. Before making
your purchase, ask others for advice and test out the weight in the
store. |

platform |
| • |
Using a video camera
platform allows you to secure the equipment easily without changing
the position of the screen. This makes stable framing possible.
Fine-positioning adjustment is also easy after setting up a desired
composition. |
| • |
Video camera platforms move
smoothly and are locked by simply removing your hand, making them
suitable for digiscoping. A tripod with a built-in balance plate
allows adjustments for unbalanced equipment. (The balance plate
shifts the biased center of balance to the center of the camera
platform, making framing easier.) |
| • |
A variety of camera platforms
is available. Choose the model that best suits you in terms of
ease of use, its ability to withstand loads, smooth movement, weight,
additional functions and price.
(The load capacity of the camera platform must be much greater than
the total weight of the equipment.) |
|
 |
| Note: Video tripods, video camera platforms
and balance plates are not available from Nikon. |
