I really like the looks of that one - especially its height! Please be sure to post your thoughts about it after you've had time to work with it.

I misread your post - sorry, I thought you mentioned a D850. The D810 is still a stellar camera! Yeah ... I've been going to physical therapy, and one of their staff shoots Nikon. He was considering upgrading to a Sony, but I loaned him my D7200 that I had up for sale along with my FX 70-300mm...

I was never overly thrilled with my D7100. Although it is a refurbished model (with only 39 actuations when I purchased it), I just never cared for its colors or limitations with ISO noise. My D610, D750, D7200, and D500 all outperform it. So like Fred said, I imagine a D850 would be incredible.

If you don't need the height, the Benro tripod that @Dawg Pics has been considering might be viable. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1157874-REG/benro_tad27a_adventure_aluminum_2_tripod_3.html Or the version with the 3-section legs ...

Thanks, Brent. It was just a coincidence that they flew by right at that time!

I have that tripod along with a Bogen head. The combo weighs around 10 pounds so it's pretty heavy. The tripod alone without a head is around 5 pounds. Benro makes some nice tripods. I have the Benro TMA28A which has twist locks (my preference) although it isn't as tall as the Bogen. It looks...

A few more from yesterday's outing. This lake was dredged last year so it's been dry for months. When I drove by, I noticed it was filled in again with water. I stopped to take a photo of a memorial bench only to find out the bench was being restored. While there, I noticed this small...

:unsure: What one is that? The 'A' is for aluminum, the 'C' for carbon fiber. I can't find one without one of the letter designations. What about a TAD28a? That's the 3-leg section of the same model. It's about $10 more though...

I don't think Gitzo makes aluminum tripods anymore. My Gitzo is a long/tall one, not that I need that feature all the time. Back when I got the Benro, I also tried out a Benro TMA27A which has 2 leg sections vs the 3 sections of the Benro TMA28A (both have twist locks). If I remember correctly...

I have the Benro Mach3 TMA28A although I don't use it as often as my aluminum Gitzo. Benro's quality is very good, and I don't have any complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to choose another Benro as a tripod because it really is solid.

Thanks, Brent. That first one is close to the road more for show-and-tell. Honestly I don't know if the other two work or not. There was an electric deer fence near the first tractor. The other two were inside the deer fence so I couldn't get close. Had to switch to my other body/lens for those...

These will start off my 2023 thread. Three old tractors from an orchard.

I like the Black Rapid Cross Shot Breathe which is an ambidextrous strap. Mine came with a safety tether. If for any reason the strap's fastener comes off of the tripod foot, the safety tether will prevent the lens from going to the ground. It's a pain when changing lenses but looks like they've...

I paid for the Photo Pills phone app. The info available is amazing. Great photos. Thanks for sharing, blackstar.

Did you read through this thread? Maybe one of your buttons is stuck? :unsure: https://nikonites.com/forum/threads/help-play-and-menu-buttons-not-working.39298/

There is an internal battery in the body (not talking about the removable one). However, I'm not sure the internal battery plays any part in the screen displaying. I *think* there might be a setting to select how long the screen stays lit although I'm not sure. Maybe either @Fred Kingston or...

Try this reset which is more of an electrical reset that @Peter7100 shared with us (Peter, I wanted to quote your post and put it into this thread but haven't yet figured out how to do that so your username gets attached). The reset you did was only to reset the shooting menu back to default...

Today in my neighborhood there are a bunch of Christmas trees sitting at the curb, but the trash won't take them until January 14th. 😄

The blog is a third party add-on, not a part of the software for the forum. Whether one will be added, I don't know. I'm not sure blogs were widely used on the old forum so that might have factored into the decision (just a guess though).

I think so, Bikerbrent. I think so. :) But it's going to take me some time to figure out why points aren't being added. It's enabled behind the scenes. In the future I will look further into this, my friend.
