[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 801004, member: 47518"] Can't stand seeing Chris and Clovishound out taking wonderful shots with gimbal gear... So grab the day that sky opened a little after the past 2, 3 weeks and went out to try a little test and practice around the yard. The scene and subject (no BIF) weren't so much, but the feeling of using and handling the whole gimbal thing was delightfully easy and smooth, and effective. No more hard impact on mind and body from handholding the small canon. Attached are some images below (all still). The bird was shot from a very far away (look at the original image, last one). If you notice the tree branches under and around the bird are well sharper than the bird, that is because I used "Large wide-area AF" mode. So the camera makes focus on the branches in the big focus rectangle box instead of the bird which is also in the focus box though. If I use "point" focus mode (small box will only cover or inside the bird), the bird would be captured in better sharpness?
