If you put a camera out on a boom there will be some vibration. I don't care what tripod you have. It's one of the reasons why cameras have remotes and mirror lock up. Depending on what your shooting and how long of a shutter speed you're using will determine whether the level of vibration is acceptable or not. Granted cheaper tripods will severely exacerbate the effect as they flex at the apex, but even that can be overcome with proper technique.Tripod with a Horizontal arm ?Top down, using a tripod with a horizontal arm.
What kind of tripod (as in sturdiness) and how far out is the horizontal arm going. This may be making a nice little springboard action upon touching it.
I hope you are not actuating the picture with your own finger. It's probably causing shaking issues. Just in case ... Use a radio remote or corded trigger to minimize that.
I used a horizontal arm too $70 thing and boy .. you have to use a remote release to not have it even slightly bounce.
Depends on the tripod. Most truly studio-quality tripods won't have any issue with a boom. Ours is Manfrotto, and while it's a POS in my opinion, it holds our boom steady. It's also giant, so there's that.
