My poor tripod is sooooo lonely, stuck in the boot for months on end. I'm thinking this is sad, its not good, it's not fair on mr manfrotto

Should I feel guilty ?

The whole point to small format cameras is to be lightweight, discrete, and agile. Exactly why you want to avoid a tripod a lot of the time.

Yes, I use my monopod all the time if I have my 400, or if I'm going to be using the 70-200 for longer than a couple of hours I will too

But...the reason I ask is ghat I watched a friend shooting portraits in full sun and he used a tripod.....now....he's a pro and much better than I, so, thought I'd ask the mob

Hmmm... I think that's odd! I'd be interested in his explanation for that. I'd only use a tripod in bright light if I needed long exposures for some particular reason.
