I find “very slowly breathing out” a better method than just “holding your breath”, which – for some reason – does not that well work for me…

Holding your breath helps you to remain still at the moment of releasing the shutter.

Thanks Roy this was very interesting reading regarding the tripods. It’s good to
know these things when you are out and don’t have the right equipment with you.

You should also make mention of “chainpods” where you step on a chain that’s attached to the camera and lift the camera against the chain. They work very well, similarly to a monopod.
