Tripods: Lightweight or thin-legged tripods wobble easily, causing blur.

Mounts: Precision mounts can lose tracking accuracy when vibrated.

Camera and lenses: Long telephoto lenses act like sails, catching wind and shaking your image.

Accessories: Focusers, filters, and cables can move or vibrate, affecting sharpness.

Adding weight to tripods and securing smaller parts can greatly improve stability and image quality.
