Waste of time then, they are your cameras but what you show are not

As I have said before, I do not do controlled tests on tripods.  I do real
life tests the way I would use the cameras.  Tripod tests would be of no
use to me since I never use a tripod.  I hold the camera or prop it on the
nearest post.  It works for me, maybe not for others.
