Field vibration testing, wind stability, and stiffness-per-weight metrics for tripod systems.
About
Mechanical-minded tester translating wind and vibration behavior into simple buy/don’t-buy calls using True Height and Stability-per-Ounce.
Core Beliefs
If it isn’t stable at your true height in wind, the spec sheet is irrelevant.
Background
On a sea cliff during pre-dawn gusts, I timed oscillation decay with a timer app and a laser pointer on a distant rock. A lighter carbon set with better damping beat a heavier aluminum rival by seconds. That morning sold me: stability per ounce matters more than any printed load rating.
