Hi guys,I was out on Sunday shooting the perseids meteor shower and I tried to get a panorama of the entire milky way while I was out there. I set my camera up and put the camera into the vertical orientation on the tripod and began shooting. The first few images were blurry, I checked focus and it was fine. Tried again and came out blurry. I tried a couple images in landscape orientation and they turned out great. I concluded that the tripod mounting plate was not tight enough and slowly sliding down during the exposure creating blurry images. I tried to tighten it as much as possible but the lens (16-35) would continue to slowly slide the camera downwards during the exposures. I don't think it was the ballhead because I tried some pictures with the lens pointing up while in a landscape orientation and didn't have any sliding issues.Any recommendations or am I SOL. This is the tripod and using the standard Benro mounting plate that came with the ballhead.Edit: If it matters/of interest I am using a Canon 6D with a Canon 16-35 F2.8 III. The lens is quite heavy, I also have a Rokinon 24mm that is substantially lighter but was trying out the 16-35 for astro for the first time. via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2MIdHkl
