I did a lot of wedding (video and 35mm) and sports related events in my younger years but the majority was hand held. Rush past the crowd to get the shot of the grand master as he handed the Shihan his higher ranked black and so forth. It got me out of training at events I really didn't want to train at (health). "Great, you can do all of the photography".
I always took the trusty Velbon though just in case. I still have it somewhere.
I never much did portrait except for friends.
Good luck moving about the town over the weekend Warren and watch for police on the road, Lithgow there's more patrol cars (marked and unmarked) than traffic.
