Preparing for wind during your session:
- Scout early: Arrive before dark to assess wind and find shelter.
- Anchor tripod: Use sandbags and spread legs wide for stability.
- Position near windbreaks: Trees, rocks, or walls help block gusts.
- Balance your mount: Properly balanced gear reduces strain and vibration.
- Check mount tension: Adjust clutches to prevent unwanted movement.
Being proactive helps you avoid frustration and improves your chances of sharp images.
