Two different days at the same beach. The first pic is cropped a bit, but that’s the only editing on anything.

11 Pro.

Out of curiosity, what’s the upper limit for zoom where image stabilisation will cease to be effective and you absolutely must use a tripod?

I don’t think there is a upper limit, but the real answer is it depends. Shutter speed, if you subject is moving or not, pixel size, even how close a moving subject is to the camera all play a part on if you’ll get blur or not.

image stabilisation (IS) will help no matter what the zoom, with a tripod helping more. After all, if the camera isn’t moving then there is nothing to stabilise. Even pressing the camera shutter whilst on a tripod is enough to cause small movement.

put simply, the better the IS, the better you can get away without using a tripod. Trying to stop the camera from moving in the first place is of course the main aim, be it by leaning against a wall, resting a camera on a solid surface or by using a tripod.
