Is it just the wooden slats shifting or the whole bridge bouncing about? Adding some weight to your tripod might be a little help, and having your tripod weighted more to one side (might help the wooden slats wobbling).
Have you got any shots with lenses that have IS? Dunno if it'd help though, I imagine the IS is designed for handheld shake which might be fundamentally different from the shake that you're getting on the bridge.
@bluesatin Heya, thanks for commenting. Yes, the entire bridge does move, but the slats themselves are quite unstable for this type of photography. The entire rig, the aluminum legs, a 501HDV head, and the camera... I thought that would be heavy enough, but it wasn't.
I have not used an IS lens. I have a fig-rig, and think I'll give that a shot on the bridge. I truly only need a couple of seconds for the short I'm shooting, but doing hand-held for a sunrise may be a real strain, in the end.
