Since I sold my 500 F4, all handheld… would change if (when) I take out the 300 F2.8 for any length of time!

D850 w/500PF I can usually get away with handheld 90% but often get caught into low light +high ISO so I’ll find a tree (0-5%%) or fence post (5-10%) to be able to still a longer exposure at better ISOs.I'm curious - what support method do you use the MOST in the field? I know many of use a little of each choice in the poll, but which do you use the most?
Also, if you use a combination, feel free to post what percentage you use with each.
For me, I use a bit of everything, but the majority is on a tripod. However, I do find myself going with monopods and handheld more often than ever before (better VR and stabilizations systems combined with lighter gear helps a lot!) Probably 50% tripod, 20% monopod, and 30% handheld. (I should try to use the monopod more than I handheld, but here we are LOL).
I started w/handheld and then, because of my Parkinson’s, I bought a gimbal and better tripod. Now I switch between the two. Very handy. I detach the camera from the tripod and hook it to my black rapid while walking. I also use a shoulder strap for the tripod. It all fits. Tripod? “don’t leave home without it” lolI'm curious - what support method do you use the MOST in the field? I know many of use a little of each choice in the poll, but which do you use the most?
