Used photographic equipment for the safaris in Namibia - Making of Karsten told me today a couple of Photos sent, as can be seen very well as I do because of the safaris (game drives) 've photographed.
Click on any of the usual safari Land Rover. We were always a little earlier on the vehicle to give us the first row with the largest field of fire to secure. On the thick tubes I placed the SkimmerSack Beanbag and Gimbalhead skimmer mounted on the floor stand - we arrive on these vehicles to a comfortable working height. The only alternatives are still a monopod or balancing on the knees, what have I done now and then.
And to the other side I had even in some cases, with the 600 "out of hand" photograph. The hands-free results are, to my surprise even become very good.
And here are from an open pick from that are at least suitable for picture much better, as the shooting range is completely free all around. And in addition you have also have the option to go on the roof of the cab in order to have more height.
As you can see there is no animal in the neighborhood to visit - with the 1.4x teleconverter on the 600 I have got the elephant in the trees but still hit quite well.
I'm usually on the pickups but the SkimmerSack hanging right there, used. Practically, was that the non-slip inner sides, so you could hang the problems during the trip on the tube. I have an additional backup for the Beanbag not needed, only the large photo backpack I have two hooks attached to the vehicle.
the second body (K20D) with the shorter focal lengths, in my case, most camera strap, the 50-135mm f2.8 zoom lens on Sunsniper. Sometimes, as in this photo, but also I had an alternative, compact 300mm f4.5 it. It is particularly important, especially on the open pickups, that you both hands free while driving to hold the camera still and has always been very easy reach.
