Ah! Uncle Dick, there you hit the nail on the rather battered head. But tripods are tripods and are horses for courses. Even my shaky and palsied paws can hold a camera steady for a shot with an 80mm lens in daylight. But, then, your mileage may vary: to me, a decent slapshot hand-held image beats some posed posturings before a trip-dancer.
