What is the standard tripod height you set for wildlife photo shooting? Provided under a general nature scene: up sky; mid horizon; downfield or water. You may find (moving) targets in the air, on the horizon, in the near field, or on water (not some specific scene e.g., around a steep hillside or cliff, etc). Disregarding hand-hold shooting due to heavy gear weight, you want to set your tripod system for comfortable and effective operation: how high will your camera VF or EVF (also consider LV screen) be? your eye level, below eye level, or above eye level when standing normally straight up? How do you adjust your tripod legs (ring section connectors, not clip type, no center column) to meet your preferences when whole sections are not suitable? How do you mark the partial section?
