Sea-n-Ease Posted June 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Planning our first l, and probably only, Alaskan cruise. I have a Canon R6 ii. Should I bring a tripod, monopod, gimbal, neither? I am not a vlogger. Mostly stills and some video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agape01 Posted June 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On my TA with Oceania Rivieria, I did neither. In case if I needed to take a long exposure, I did have a gorilla pod. Along with my Nikon Z7II, I brought a 12mm, 24-120 and a 50-500 sigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted June 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I lugged a tripod along for about 5 cruises and gave up. Even the small travel tripod is a pain with crowds and limited time on tours and such. A lightweight monopod can help if you have a long lens, but on a boat tour, engine vibration and wave motion negates any advantage. Slightly bent knees and optical and/or sensor-based stabilization is the way to go for me. A $100 gimbal for a good phone would help for video if you do enough of it and unlike me, have a use for video. 😉 Enjoy! Alaska is a fantastic place for photography.
