Hey folks my tripod isn't staying steady during photoshoots; any fixes?

Quick note - Also spread the legs to the widest angle and if your tripod has a hook and hang a weight but let it rest on the ground or tether it so it can’t swing. If you’ve been in sand or mud, disassemble the legs and clean the locks and bushings - grit can cause play even when everything feels tight. Since you’re on a DSLR, use mirror lock-up or exposure delay, and if you must extend, do the thicker leg sections first and leave the center column down.

A quick test: switch to Live View and let the camera focus there - if those shots are sharp but viewfinder AF ones aren’t the phase-detect AF likely needs a fine-tune or service. Also check the viewfinder diopter and toggle the lens AF/MF switch, then use a hand blower to puff out the mirror box in case dust is confusing the AF sensor. Stopping down to around f/4–f/5.6 will give you a little extra depth of field, which helps with wiggly grandkids.

Hi Dylan! Congrats on the first great-grandbaby. 👶 For a newborn nursery I would go with Yogasleep Hushh. It is simple and dependable from a long trusted brand and with a USB rechargeable battery and a compact build that is easy to move around the house or slip in a diaper bag for naps on the go.
Place it a few feet from the crib and keep the volume just high enough to cover household noise and not loud. 🔊 Avoid putting any sound machine in the crib. If you want it to run all night and you can plug it in on a dresser and let it hum while everyone sleeps.
