Well yes, there are those; wind can be especially troublesome, and
ripping off a series of frames in continuous mode can set the whole
thing shaking. This is where an extra support that attaches to your big
lens and to a leg of the tripod can come in handy (wish I had one!). In
truth, I too have been in situations were I needed to attempt to damp
the movement of the camera/lens assembly using a hand, arm, or whatever,
but I do this only out of necessity, since generally speaking, when my
camera is on a tripod I see less movement if I'm not touching it at all
than when I'm trying to stabilize it. Perhaps others can hold themselves
more still than I can. :-)
