I am underutilising my camera

While I was surfing around this site sellingvelbon tripods, I feel guilt creeping into me. I too have a tripod and it costs quite a sum of money because we wanted to find something that is stable as my camera and lens alone costs $6K. We cannot afford to have anything inferior that gives way and cause our camera to fall to the ground, spelling doom.

Though my tripod may not be as good as velbon tripods, it is stable enough. But you know what? I hardly use it because I either complained about the heat when taking photo during the day or I complained about not being able to take good night photos and hence, the tripod is stuffed at home.

Never mind, the tripod is not going anywhere. While talking about tripod, I wish to get a small one to take macro shots. Whenever I adjusted my camera aperture to about f 11 or bigger number, I will get blurry photo because of my shaky hands. Let’s see if velbon tripods site carries some of such tripod. What do you call those kind of tripod?
