Benjamin_Nevis Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Looking ahead to the tortuous ascent of Beinn nan Aighenan, one of the remoter munros. It's in Glen Kinglass but slightly easier to get to from Glen Etive. I was going to delete this one but liked the light trying to break through the cloud (it did and we were completely clear at the top) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Gear advice needed yet again folks...tripods. I’m going to get a benro gimbal head for wildlife stuff but I’m needing a tripod that this will fit onto. Preferably I’ll be able to swap the gimbal for a different one more that’s suited for landscape stuff as well. After a carbon fibre one and my budget is £170. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming your going carbon fibre for the weight reduction to carry? Trouble with being too light is they move in the wind. What lens are you using? Personally, I use Manfrotto.. Good solid base and you can interchange between gimbal and ball head easily. I don't use it very often as I dropped down to a 300mm prime with 1.4 tc so most of my stuff is handheld these days. Saving up for a 500 prime mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a 200-500mm lens but would quite like to use the tripod for shooting landscapes as well, so wind may be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp enough? i Can't decide between the 200--500 or the 500 PF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, it’s heavy though so hand held shooting can be tricky if wanting to achieve sharpness without a tripod. The picture below was taken with said lens. Looks fairly sharp to me. This is considering I’m still an amateur working off of a D3200! I’m sure someone more capable could have used better settings for the shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
