Hi Taylor,

?

Going to add my 2 Cents on the Vib Damping Feet :

When Imaging, you want everything to be as Rigid and Stable as possible.

There should be no 'vibration' to damp... and these feet add a source of compliance = drift/misalignment

?I see no purpose for damping feet with mounts this heavy and rigid.


My suggestion : just press the legs into the dirt solidly and go with it.

?

I've seen people use vib feet on grass .. not sure why .. all that does is make a spongy

soft mounting = something you do NOT want for imaging..

?

I used to have 3 iron pipes ~ 6" long, 2" dia that I would drive into the ground with a small sledge

?and use?them as the base points for my tripod.
