increasing stability on extended legs?

[rowan46]

I was cleaning my telescopic trekking pole today and it occurred to me that. if I put one of those expanding gromets at the top of the bottom telescope leg it would be clamped against the top leg at 2 points this would mean when extended because there was less play there would be less vibration I think. what do you think? waste of time or what?

Best way to reduce mount vibration is to put 3 celestron anti-vibration pads under the tripod legs. I use them and they reduce settling time dramatically.

Yes I had a set of those forgot to tether them and kicked 1 into the canal when packing up

Hi rowan46, I read someware that if you had some clean empty yogurt pots and half filled them with silicone they were as good as bought vibration pads.
