[OM] shutter vibrations and tripod choice....................

As well as my Olympus equipment, I have a Bronica S2a 6x6 medium format camera. Many things are good about the camera, but the ammount of shutter vibration is not. While looking at, and printing negatives last night, I was wondering what ways there were to reduce vibration, and how important the type of tripod is....

I have a small Gitzo tripod, and a much larger, heavier Tilt-all. Besides for things like sandbags, etc.... Just how important is the material that a tripod is made of.

Has anyone read about wood vs. metal for reducing vibrations, etc.?

I try to reduce the mirror slap by supporting the camera with my hands, but I'm looking for more ideas......

Any ideas would help,

James.
