My wife and I tried your setup on our kayaks. We found it a bit tippy. Our kayaks must be a bit narrower. We found free handing it worked best for us, especially for birds in flight. We gave it our best, but we like it freehand. Thanks for the tip. Good luck. Thanks

Almost that time of the year!

Thanks. It really helped. Appreciate and wish you always good luck finding the right animals to shoot.

I find that my 2x teleconverter with my 70-200 GM II is probably the best combination. The 5.6 aperture is pretty good especially in well lit scenes. Any other lens other than the primes I think would not be worth it.

I appreciate the review. All the images seemed excellent with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters on all three lenses, particularly on the 400mm GM and 200-600mm. The 1.4x teleconverter proved especially effective.

Amazing Video! Wildlife photography is such a challenging task. I'm trying to do it myself and I commend you on how effortless you make this look! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing!

Very simple and detailed

What is that device you're using as an auxillary LCD viewer?

I’m getting into photography and I’ve been curious about these. My only comment here is that our screens aren’t really able to see any significant difference in clarity here. As an absolute beginner really, I don’t see any difference even though I know the f stops and amount of light would be a huge factor.

Your video was very helpful. I have been debating to buy teleconverter for my Sony zoom telephoto lenses and now I decided not to. To my eyes, cropped view looked sharper even at the same ISO. Who knows what the images will look like once ISO goes up with teleconverters.

Question about your set-up. I guess the tripod is just to hold THE CAMERA still relative to the kayak, but I imagine the kayak is often not very steady? Please comment. Also, does that set-up raise your center of gravity in a way that makes the kayak tippy? have you ever gone over?

I found my 70-200 GM2 to pair with the 2x teleconverter quite well - the degradation is minimal and the resulting 140-400 f/5.6 is useful. However the IQ suffers greatly with the 2x TC on my 200-600, as you show.

So anxious to bring my cameras on a kayak...living vicariously through your video til I work up the courage:)

I've been using one for a few years now. I did however, modify the front window to my liking. But, really excellent for ground shooting.

This is probably one of the best vlog+birds+cinematic feel+best audio vibe music combinations I’ve seen in quite a while. Very Nice Work! I’m definitely going to be a new subscriber and watcher.

If you went further, you'd have seen some very tall waterfalls. The tallest is about 100 feet tall, according to elevation readings on Google Earth.

Really informative tips Steve. Thanks

what lifetime kayak is it please?

I want to do this, where I live there are many lakes, I am new to photography and bought some excellent equipment and time to learn. Great inspiration thank you.

Affinity- SO MUCH BETTER FOR STACKING !!!!!

Don't tell to many about our secret ! Great content Man!

Nice! Photo days in the forest of Maine are my favorites. Thanks Man!

How ya travelling mate? Been a while. Cheers to ya.

Have a water reservoir up the street from my house probably about 3 miles. And I get beautiful egrets and great blue herons. They can be a little cumbersome because I have to shoot from the side of the road to get the birds and usually I have to use my rf800 mm. But I've gotten some rather good pictures these last few years and it's right up the street so I can go all the time. Recently I was cracking up and walking away in this beautiful eagle fluoride pass my head and normally I would grab my camera but I had missed the shot. Lo and behold he went down and made a u-turn and came directly back in my direction. So I grabbed my Canon R5 with my 800 at-ats to it and started bursting away 20 frames a second. I got some prices pictures and absolutely and thrilled that we now have an evil in our neighborhood. Funny thing is I live 20 miles outside of Charlotte North Carolina and usually don't get Eagles here. I do live in the countryside of Mooresville North Carolina so we have lots of deers, turkeys, coyotes, foxes, and all types of birds. Just today I got a beautiful owl and a hawk in the same Tree in my yard! That's not everyday though and it is rare but it does happen. Thank you for your upload I really appreciate the content

My only complaint is the birds like turkey key on movement and this would definitely scare them off.

Nice shots.

Great video and useful info, thank you!

Great heron images. Nice work

Your videos just keep getting better and better.

Well worth the effort, great images!

This was a fantastic video!!

I.can’t decide l like both. Great work man!

Great shots

Great work as always

As a Paddler and photographer I am always seeking new ideas. Great video. Inspired! Jenn

Awesome video sir, when i was living in Co the rut was always a great time. The bugling is a really interesting call lol

Excellent video and photos! However, my cat didn’t know quite what to make of the elk bugling sound, so funny🤣

Fantastic video! And some awesome images! There are about 3 or 4 images that are definitely award winning shots!

Super shots of the Elk!

How do you get f/4 from that 200-600mm lens?

You guys (In America) are extremely lucky with birds. You can get to them in open so close. This year I was in Henderson Swamp LA for couple of hours and got plenty of heron shots. Blue , Great(white) and snowy. In here where I live (central Europe) those birds are extremely shy and vigilant. I cannot approach them in open. I have to wait hours in silence in the hide for them to come to me and even then, even slightest movement or sound may scare them.

Great video, where did you get the jacket? Thank you.

I was wondering where you went. The last video I watched was your amazing bear encounter. I loved the deer shots you captured, very sweet with mama and baby together. Beautiful shots of the heron also.

Love your videos I have a question if you don't mind how do you determine the correct f-stop, for some of your shots you choose f4 how do you determine that stop Thanks

Beautiful. The heron blended in to the rock.

God bless you thank you for sharing your video stay safe today 🙏

Yes, I did enjoy it Great video.

That last shot is amazing! It almost seem like the bears were looking right at you. I'm so glad I found your channel.

Great shots! Just found your channel and love it.

May I ask why you shifted from a kayak to a johnboat?
