Looked through some your stuff. It looks like you spit on the lens and photographed from outside a house through a window with venetian blinds.
Anyway, the D800 camera is specifically designed for studio and landscape work where there will be no movement at all. And obviously, in that circumstance it would always make more sense to photograph with a tripod. The D800 has a frame-rate of several years ago. It's not meant for any kind of speed at all, but rather in a studio or outside in front of natural beauty where the photographer has all the time he wants to set up a shot.
When you take several minutes to take one single picture, you're going to find that handheld doesn't compare very well to that tripod, and then the camera should also be used with a remote shutter and live-view to obtain exact focus, and then mirror-up to omit the mirror-slap.
Now you can use a D800 anyway you see fit. It's a camera and it's yours, so enjoy it. But you're trying to use a D800 (a studio/landscape camera) like a D4 (a moving objects camera).
