Camera Bag Conundrum
I have a Canon EOS R7, a 100mm macro lens, an 18-150mm telephoto, a 100-400mm telephoto, a 50mm lens and now - a 200-800mm telephoto lens. My backpack camera bag has sufficed up until the LOOONG lens arrived, and I am debating w...
I have a Canon EOS R7 and have very recently received an RF 200mm-800mm lens which is right heavy. I do wildlife photography (where a tripod is useful when I know the habits of my creatures) and am looking for advice on a decent tripod with a quick ...
I was particularly iinterested in the new firmware update announcing a new Canon battery (LPE6P) which will allow in camera charging. Although I am pretty good at watching my battery levels (and I have multiple backups), I wanted to include in my co...

i have a 100-400 i can handhold easily and wish i had waited as a 100-500 seems a better choice albeit sooo much pricier
Yep…i figured that out when i opened the box for the gimbal! Got the p50 which was what they recommended for the 200-800mm. Now i am looking at body plates as i do not always want to have the gimbal attached (or maybe i will - just thinking about w...
Yes…i am now faced with another big decision on quick release systems. Wimberly has a plate advertised for this lens at $100 on B&H….I do now own a Wimberly gimbal and my reason for buying a decent tripod and this gimbal is just to use the big lens....
I went with a carbon fiber tripod with a published weight limit of 44 pounds and a total carrying weight of 3.1 pounds. It won’t arrive til the end of Jan 2025 so my final assessment of it is pending. Also opted to forego a center post. For the 20...
