Maybe I am doing something wrong, I just put my camera in AV mode and click the shutter, I don't have a long balance bar with vibration pads. I have ordered a bar from Wing in the hope of improving!

If you are using the TLS800 there a big advantage for those with DSLR's with "liveview". My camera in liveview allows me to magnify the LCD 10x and you are able to get very accurate focus, in fact last time out with the TLS800 everyshot I had taken was in sharp focus. This setup gives me a "poor man's" 800mm lens and I tend to treat the setup as normal photography not Digiscoping.

This is a shot taken 6 months ago using the same TLS800 setup in low light. The shutter is 1/50 sec at ISO 800 and the bird is swimming fairly fast
