Are there any secret tips on what not to do when setting up your tripod?
I know I don't have the best mount in town but it's what I have and want to get the best out of it I can.
I have fallen into the habit of fully extending the legs at setup, mainly cos it puts the EP at the right height range for viewing. I am guessing this may not be the best for stability.
What is your preferred surface? I have a choice of lawn (oh ok, weeds) or pavers.
Any other tips to make your average supplied cheap tripod more stable
