[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 800908, member: 50197"] I look forward to seeing the info from this thread. I just got a gimbal mount for Christmas. Haven't done much more than shoot a few birds in the backyard with it. I really liked the feel of it from this limited experience. The Pup and I were going to go to the Birds of Prey Center yesterday to give the new toy, I mean tool, a workout. They are closed until later in the month. I'm going out this morning to a local privately owned park that has a swamp. Bad time of year for wading birds around here, but I hope to get some shots. My plan is to lock the gimal and carry the tripod with camera attached over my shoulder. I will report back on how well this works. One of the big advantages I see, already, is the easing of having to support a large, heavy lens/camera with my aging arms. Last time I was at the Birds of Prey Center, I had to shoot for a little while, and rest the camera in my lap for a little while. I'm also hoping that it will allow me to more accurately track a moving bird than shaky arms will allow. [/QUOTE]
