What about this idea. I have access to IV bags at work. A 1 liter bag
weighs about a pound. I could connect two of them with a length of cloth
between them and hang the cloth over the lens where it is mounted on the
tripod to put weight over the lens at the mount.
I was also thinking of taking a 250 cc bag and putting it on top of the
camera to damp vibrations during remote release since it would seem to make
sense given that the vibrations are stemming from the camera. I would assume
that a light weight such as this would not strain the camera/lens mount.
Does this sound right or is the weight on the camera not a good idea from the
lens mount or vibration viewpoint?
