    I do have a 10 lb lead trolling sinker I hang on the tripod center.

    Peter is right about vibration I got the 10# lead ball when I was photographing office interiors late at night, it was amazing the floor in highrises vibrate as much as they did, I found adding the 10# helped.

    Or use strobe/flash which can cure vibration set up issues to varying degrees.
    The microscope folks will apply longer exposures to reduce the effects of vibration as needed. Same longer exposure technique can work and be applied here.

    I certainly hope some of you never apply for a job as a building inspector! I't so darn easy to seriously stabilize a stand that I can't figure out why that option is even being debated.

    Yes!
