[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 800925, member: 50197"] Well, got back a bit ago from my first outing with the gimbal. In two words, I love it! As to carrying, I did as planned and carried it with the gimbal locked, tripod legs extended, over my shoulder. Tried it without locking and didn't have any issues, but felt more confident with it locked, and locking and unlocking is a very quick operation. I may get a small pad for my shoulder, as the weight of the gear across my shoulder became a little irritating. It was easily bearable, but I'm sure I can get something that will pad my shoulder. I didn't get any birds in flight. I almost did, but trees were in the way when the heron flew off. Here he was just flying off the branch. Yes, it's not quite sharp on the head. I may play with it later, or just can it. Posted to illustrate the experience. [ATTACH type="full"]386732[/ATTACH] Working with it was very satisfying. [/QUOTE]
