I hand-hold ALL of my field macro-photography. Normally, my speedlight is set to 1/8 to 1/4-power. This equates to speedlight output of 1/1000-sec to 1/2000-sec, which will freeze any subject or camera movement. At ISO 200, my normal camera settings are 1/200-sec at f/16.
Well so much for the tripod. I'm doing hand held from now on. Thanks for all the info. I will keep working on this.
