For ZDNet readers, tripods are casual accessories

The majority of ZDNet readers don't use their tripods often, according to an online poll opened on October 2. 24% of voters said they only use a tripod once or twice a year, and 20% said they use one every few months. Only 7% of participants said they use a tripod every single time. 809 people participated in the poll as of October 13. I don't always tote my tripod along, mainly because it's difficult to carry around with other equipment. However, there are many times I wished I had one because it would have save my pictures from inevitable camera shake and blur.

Do you agree with the results? Do you want to use your tripod more often, or is not really necessary for you? Or do you use natural props (like tables or fences) to stabilize your camera?
