Do I have to use a tripod to buy a telephoto camera?

The purpose of using a tripod for telephoto cameras is not to make the picture empty.

At the telephoto end, the slight shaking of the hand, magnified to the subject, will make the subject move greatly and produce a virtual image.

There is an empirical formula for taking pictures with a camera: the shutter speed of the camera is greater than the focal length of the lens.

For example, if you use a 200mm telephoto lens, the shutter speed should be set above 250.

However, the camera lenses that come out now generally have anti-shake function (the lens is marked VR). This can reduce the number of two shutters. Still in the above example, the shutter speed can be set faster than 60.

The photos taken in this way are not easy to fake.

If the light is good, the shutter speed can be guaranteed when taking pictures at the telephoto end, and there is no need for a tripod at all.
