    Black-necked Grebe??? Spain

    Yes I use the P1000 for exactly that. My walkaround camera would always be the Canon 90D with the 100-400ii lens. As you know some birds are always too far away and that's when I pull the Nikon P1000 out of my bag. I also turn to the P1000 for video. I would recommend it for that purpose. If I...

    Black-necked Grebe??? Spain

    With the Canon 90D I use a Canon 100-400 mk2 lens. Would you believe all the bee-eater photographs you mention on my site were taken with the Canon SX50HS. Including the video.

    I need to clamp a Monopod!

    Not really the 349 only supports centre columns from 25-28mm diameter. Also I don’t really want to use a centre column because it’s not long enough to touch the floor so less stability. I need my monopod to touch the floor and be clamped at the top. Thanks for your reply.

    I need to clamp a Monopod!

    I want to clamp a monopod (Manfrotto 680B) to the shelf in a bird hide. I want it to be clamped to the shelf with the monopod foot touching the floor. I know someone on here made one once. I've been looking around for suitable clamps but not come up with anything yet. The monopod grip at the top...
