Re: Does a zoom lense always need tripod ?

No, a zoom lens does not always need a tripod. I never use a tripod for any of my outdoor Canon DSLR photos from 18mm focal length to 600mm focal length. And that includes when I was using my older Olympus DSLR cameras and lenses at different focal lengths more than four years ago.

Sometimes a zoom lens could use a tripod if the shutter speed was too slow. Practice holding the camera and lens steady. Brace the camera and lens at times also.
