Man those cameras on the edge look extremely dangerous haha :D

Yepp, tripod is a must for sure. Regarding the strap, I never thought of that hahah :D But it indeed is a kite. I've already knew about the self times tip :) And disabling image stabilization totally surprised me. As you sadi, totally counter intuitive. I guess you should point out that we should disable this only if we've already taken step 1, otherwise the pics will be a mess I guess haha :D And I don't have any hood as I don't even own any extra lens, just a kit one hah :D Anyway, cool tips, thanks! great work and well deserved upvote from Curie :) Congratz!
