Everyone takes vacations and shoots pictures and thinks their images are beautiful.  It's unlikely that trying to sell them as stock will be worth the effort, as people already in the area, and professional photographers have likely already spent lots of time and money creating salable works from the area.

i've to agree with him

BUT this dosn't mean that you should stop travelling with your camera and shoot pictures...just maybe you won't get in few hours of visit the best result you can get from one spot...but coming back to the main point,for sure this will be totally UN-economic

i submitted very similar images to istock, some of them needed release others no....depending on moon and season, maybe also weather condition at istock headquarters   ;D ;D....

Chinese lights are cheap! Saved time is worth IMHO.

that is the point....you can isolate perfectly with a budget of around 70-100 euro...of coarse is nothing easy-to-move and looks like gypsy but it works very good....
...personally i have space reserved for this set up and i don't need every time to set up and down...i just go there with objects, food, wathever and shoot....4-5 mins per object, and 20 seconds in ps just to check perfection of white and eventually a fast correction.....around 5-6 mins per image

photoshopping maybe require double time per image (compared to this classical method)...multiply for 1500/2000 image, you have more than 70 hours added to your workflow...i think a 100 euro investment is really ridicolous compared to this time-saving, of coarse for someone doing a lot of isolations (like me)

Information is one of the main actor in democracy. The day when all (again: all) info will be manipulated, distorted  and organised to bring consensus to one part, without exception, we will understand that information isn't an industry or a business like every other. We are not too far from it

well if you think there has ever been a democracy in this a.C. world you might be right....indeed you're wrong  ;D

there quite a lot good tripods out there...manfrotto/triopo/velbon/giotto....etc

choice of tripod is not the problem if you shoot in studio (just need to be solid)...head is the problem depends on what you want to shoot

ball head, 3 axis or video head...are all made for different kind of work...personally i use 3 axis in studio and ball head for timelapses/hyperlapses and outdoor photography...but as you say you want to make video i think a video head would be better for you (camera movements are smoothed)

183
i shoot isolated with 3 to 5 lights...one behind, one under for isolation.... and others to give shape to the object (left, right, up)...taslucient background is needed

ss is having huge problems of upload in these days

Take a course in marekting online or something. Hardly difficult. Something most fellow togs wont tell you.

Please don't do that....this is really a waste of time much more than uploading to microstock  ;D ;D ;D

195
the price of some few SD cards is really an UNSCIENTIFIC number.

196
People have had five credits swapped for one and have those still to spend. People who were going to buy two or three images will now only be able to buy one, but will they buy a new credit pack when their current one expires? If they don't , the impact will be seen weeks or months from now.

i didn't thought about that! you're right...

sales are back again to me....let's see how october will be

someone on IS forum said it correctly....we will have to wait October and November regular sales to say if this was a good or bad move...actually doesn't look good  :(
