What camera Eric?

Were you using your Grip release tripod head?


750

Yes


24Mp, twice the D3 density. That, coupled with the mirror slap and your tall ball joint seem to me a recipe for shake. I am very suspicious of that ball joint, way too much leverage and distance from the tripod top to the lens, may be very convenient but in my view too flexi in critical circumstances.

Easy to confirm, with and without the tripod head, with and without shutter delay.

I usually use the self timer set to 5 seconds if I don't have a remote to hand.
