    ball head or cine head?

    since getting my new 3LT leveling base tripod and the 300PF4 , i'm not sure i'm going to use the gimbal as much. I currently do not have a ball head as that's attached to the old tripod being used by my good lady. my super duper exotic collection of glass (jk) is the Nikon PF4, a sigma 150-600C...

    dreaded phone questions - making it better

    im not daft to think that regardless of the processing power of the new smart phones they are going to come close to a proper body and lens, unlike 1 friend that sold his D7200 and D610 claiming his galaxy note pro was better but hey ho, but as i go out on my push bike and walks with dog i dont...

    4k monitor ?

    our computer scheme at work has finally rolled round again and I have taken the plunge on a 2020 256gbSSD mac mini. all the specs suggest its more upgradeable that the Imac eqvilent also means I need to replace the hugely outdated monitor I have. I have sort of narrowed it down to the following...

    looking for new go to lens

    i currently use a Nikkor AF-P 70-300 DX on my D500 and yup its not weather sealed which sort of defeats a lot of the weather proofing on the D500 - to the point my sensor already needs a clean after my partner through it was funny to hose me as i walked in through the gate. now is this any good...

    testing and practice

    set up the gimbal and 150-600mm with the d500 and had a play in the garden. these pics were straight off the back of the camera with my phone as i haven't editing anything yet. i think 600mm is possibly way to much for the garden lol 100% zoom in as shot

    which is the better image

    i shot this on a very shadowy day with low sun and trees, so lots of shadows. the colour is very close to how it was shot and looked in real life, for this i actually like the colour. I edited it today to make a Black n white and more detail popped up obviously, i like the extra details in BnW...

    tripods for 150-600C

    the tripod i currently use although good spares are getting difficult, it also has a very small platform and i had to purchase an older one to get a larger platform to support the Gimbal head, its also not the lightest of items. looking at current tripods i cant decide whether i need a column...
