I shoot a Nikon D500 with a 200-500 or a 300 mm lens. Birds are my main targets. I especially love taking pics of raptors and warblers - and, if possible - while in flight. But, I have hand shake as did my father before me. It seems to be inherited. I walk a couple of miles a day and do some lifting in order to maintain, at 62, some degree of muscle tone so I can get out in the woods and search for birds. But, when I hear folks talk about keeping the focus point on the eye, I must chuckle. For me, esp at 500 mm, it is on the eye, the beak, the crown, the neck, the back, etc. Recently, I bought a carbon monopod and a tilt head. But, perhaps I need to move to a tripod? Anyone else suffer my malady and have found good answers? It is hard to capture raptors flying about while the camera is mounted to a tripod, I think. If you have a tripod/head solution - please let me know what you use. Thanks for any responses. Paul

I started to develop handshake a few years ago, and figured it was just the age issue. It continued to worsen for a while, and my DW noticed a few other issues with my speech and speed of movement.
I finally insisted on seeing a neurologist, and was immediately diagnosed with Parkinsonism. My body isn’t producing enough neuro transmitters to do the job. I am now on supplements, and the change is amazing. My shakes are almost gone, and I continue to see other improvements.
Not saying this is our problem, but I’m glad I had it checked out.
Good shooting.
