don't go too far with travel-friendly tripods or these will be useless in this context (too much unstability).

i hike/travel with my "travel" legset. its relative to what you use. less stabile its not except to my standard one.


Off course it does depend on what you use. However, I have mainly a light kit (A7 + light wide-angle or standard zoom most of the time) and once you're on the heights/exposed slope, even such light kit will start to become a little shaky whenever there's a moderate wind. In my case it was after sunrise and the lighting conditions didn't help as well.
That's just my experience, yours may be different...



i generally try to hand hold and shoot high ISO. sometimes you just can't.

my kits vary but usually range from 14mm through 280mm

the travel legset is a TQC-14 w/BH30 head. quite rigid under most conditions. not as light as yours. but about the lowest level of compromise out there. It is closer to matching the hardware you are using. More of an integrated tool than accessory.
