Nikon Z9 and Nikon 180-600mm. More than 4 months with the lens. Follow me in my blind.

- After using Nikon's 180-600 mm for over four months, I must say that I am very satisfied. You can see here in the video that it is sharp even in poor light and the lens is perfect as a film lens with its zoom capability. The advantages as I see it are that it is cheap, fast autofocus, light and requires very little movement to zoom in/out. This will be my workhorse and travel lens.
In my hide I usually use my 400mm,s f/2.8 but since I film and zoom a lot this will be my first choice if it's somewhat bright outside.
For reasons of space, all recording of the camera display is done with the Nikon 400mm f/2.8. The recording is made on a laptop with an HDMI cable and a video capture card.

Excelente vídeo como siempre nos tienes acostumbrados. La luz sensacional y los protagonistas de lujo. Un bocadillo de buen jamón ibérico del que tenemos por España algo mejor que el de salchichas, o no. Un saludo
Hola Abel y gracias por tu amable comentario. Quizás la próxima vez pruebe el jamón español😀😀
At minute 9.38 the camera indicates f/2.8 ???
With the 180/600? 🤔
Congratulations for the images!!! ❤️
The title says 180-600mm but it seems to me this has been filmed with the 400mm f/2.8 instead. What about the photos?
Whaooo, that was attentive. It is so that I have two places in the hide and in the morning I always put out two lenses so that I will not disturb the birds. The second lens is a 400mm f/2.8 and to this I have connected a laptop where I record the camera display through an HDMI cable and a video capture card. I simply move the camera over to that lens when I do my camera display recordings. This is because I have nowhere else to put the laptop. Unfortunately, I don't have an Atmos recorder that can sit on the camera. I was thinking of making a film about how cheaply I got away with recording on a laptop. Total under $20 but the downside is the space the laptop takes up.

I was wondering the same thing... @ 11:57, the video is shot at f/4. So, now I'm not sure what to believe about the performance of the lens. I've been debating the 180-600 or the 600/6.3pf. Unfortunately, while superb, I'm left just as confused as I was before.
First of all like on video and after that I can watch. Fantastic as always. Regards from Serbia!
Thank you so much again Srdan and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀
Très Belle vidéo et des photos Magnifique, Merci.
merci et merci pour votre gentil commentaire. 🙏🙏😀😀
Goran great video as usual. You are certainly spolit with all the raptors you have at your blind.
Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 Yes, I’m very happy that I have all the birds of prey. 😀
The goshawk was magnificent..thanks..
Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀
Beautiful Goshawk!
Thank you so much Tabish. 🙏🙏😀😀
A really great video. So good to get one that just lets the images and footage taken with a particular camera / lens combination speak for themselves rather than the presenter prattling on all about buttons, specifications (all of which are readily available from the manufacturers' info sheets) and test charts.
Thank you so much Brian and thank you for your kind comment. 😀🙏 It means a lot to me to receive such nice feedback.
A nice video that perfectly illustrates a day's work for a nature photographer. Thank you very much for showing it. Un saludiño.
Thank you so much Jose and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀
So beautiful. I can't imagine it is only a couple of hours from where I live! (south of Copenhagen)
Thank you so much Kim and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏😀 Yes, it’s only about 200 km. 👍
Thnx once again for these beautiful shots and sounds! Looking forward to some snowy conditions here in The Netherlands. Best wishes!
Thank you so much Joost and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 let's hope you get a snow day because it brightens up the photo.👍
Great stuff Goran, thanks for the video. I'm off to Norway in February for Golden Eagle and Goshawk in the snow
Thank you so much Chas and good luck with the photography in Norway. 🙏🙏😀😀
Beautiful photography and video. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastisk video og bilder du tar. En absolutt bonus er lyden. Har du en mikrofon ute?? Tusen tusen takk for at du deler dine videoer. Utrolig flott å følge deg på dine reiser 🙂
Stort tack Tore och tack för din vänliga kommentar. 🙏😀🙏😀 Ja, jag har två röde mikrofoner (rode goII) ute som sänder ljudet till min kamera. Ha det bra och tack🙏🙏😀😀
Great video, beautiful photography!
Thank you so much Steve and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀
Goran, this was amazing. Excellent imagery! I am always happy to see your videos. I hope to get this lens in 2024.

Thank you so much Bilash and thank you for your kind comment. 😀🙏
Nice work Goran, judging by the images you captured it looks like a very capable lens. I'm considering it myself at the moment. You have a fantastic, species rich location there!! Keep up the good work and seasons greetings 🎄📷👍🏼
Thank you so much Simon and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 Thesame to you and Yes, I have a fantastic place with a lot of birds of prey. 🙏🙏
Thank you!!
Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀
Hi Goran, the video and photos are definitely sharp. I am glad you have gotten rid of the music and playing the sounds of nature. This just adds to the vlog and makes you feel like we are there with you amongst the birds.
Hope to see the next one soon.
See you out there!
Hi Euge and thank you for your kind comment. Thanks. 🙏🙏😀😀
Goran, the images are so sharp it is really quite amazing. I have the same lens attached to my Z8 and you give me hope that I will be able to create videos with an equal sharpness. Excellent work. Thank you.
Thank you so much again Pinchas and good luck with the lens. 🙏🙏😀😀
Thank you Göran for this video, good like always. Would like to see your video about sound and what microphone you use, thank you take care, Greetings Michael
Thank you so much Michael and I Will try to explain as good as I can. Have a nice christmas. 🙏🙏😀😀
Bravo. Truly beautiful images. I just received mine a few days ago. My first day, I found the lens front heavy and somewhat awkward when using it hand held for stills. Thanks to the VR I managed enough sharp images to know that the lens has a lot of potential. My keeper rate improved dramatically when i used a monopod. I can imagine using it from a hide will be quite nice.
Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 Yes, I am completely satisfied with how quickly it focuses and the sharpness. It is a perfect travel lens. God luck with it. 👍👍
Great video,it is amazing how many birds of prey are in that place!
Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀 Yes, I have been feeding them for about 10 years.
Thank you for your AWESOME photography and videography with the new NIkkor Z 180-600! I use it on a Z8, only for still photography. I agree that it is a very sharp lens and I'm quite pleased with its performance. I just don't understand why Nikon does not make the tripod collar foot Arca-Swiss compatible! (I did find an Arca-Swiss Promaster QR plate, but why it doesn't come with one is beyond me.) Thanks again for your inspirational work!
Thanks Steve and I agree that is really sharp. Then I think it is very sharp and records fantastically well when filming. Almost even better than still images. Let's hope someone better ”fot” comes along for the lens. Have a Great Christmas. 🙏🙏😀😀
@@Halmstadfoto Thank you sir, and the same to you!
Great video, but I believe the majority of this video utilized the 400mm f/2.8 lens.
Whaoooo, that was observant. As I write in the description, the camera display is filmed when I have a 400 mm lens on. This is because where I shoot from I don't have room for my laptop to do the recording of the screen. I have to move the camera to the next place where I have room for my laptop and my 400 mm. It is not possible to change the lens on the fly because then all the birds will go away. Therefore, I put the 400 mm lens in place in the morning in “hole” number 2. There I record with HDMI cable and a video capture card in resolution 1920x180 with the laptop. Then I get to move the camera back again to 180-600mm as that is the lens I used both for filming and photography.
Excellent video Goran, I’ve just got the 180-600 but not really had the opportunity to use it properly yet!
May I ask which remote you are using on the Z9!
Cheers Andy
Hi Andy and thank you for your kind comment. I'm using Aputure TriggmasterPlus II 2,4G and it works 300m. Link: m.alza.sk/EN/aputure-trigmaster-ii-plus-2-4-ghz-d4493726.htm
What lens are you actually using? Your screen shows f/3.5 and even f/2.8 in some takes. The Nikon 180-600 does not have those f-stops.
hey, that was observant. You can read the reason for that in the description. All filming of the display was done with a 400 mm f/2.8 due to lack of space. I had to move the camera to where my laptop was and there was the 400mm lens.
@@HalmstadfotoThat’s a bit misleading … amazing footage and great sounds.
@user-oe5jl2br6u Thank you so much. Now my brother and I have rebuilt so that I can fit my laptop. I understand the problem. 😀
Hi I see the F stop fluctuate between f2.8 and f4, were you using the 180-600mm for all the video? Bit confusing
Whaooo, that was observant but as I write in the description, the camera display is filmed when I have a 400 mm lens on. This because where I shoot from I don't have room for my laptop to do the recording of the screen. I have to move the camera to the next place where I have room for my laptop and my 400 mm.

Then I get to move the camera back again to 180-600mm as that is the lens I used both for filming and photography. I will rebuild the blind so I can have the laptop also in "hole" number 1 witch is the best place to sit.
@@Halmstadfoto I see, yes makes sense especially with the subjects you focus on! Saving my pennies for the 600TC!
I think you Will be satisfied with that lens. I also want it because its for sure sharper and have quicker autofokus. But for me that makes movie the 189-600 fits me better. Good luck.
Wait… where are the photos / video from the 180-600?? 🤷♂️

hi Goran
I have heard you call Jesus several times, have you come to the Christian faith, have you converted? good choice 😇❤️🙏👍
😂😂 Thank you so much. I dint’t know that befors you comment. 😂😂 Thank you so much for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀
Vad gör alla dessa rovfåglar där? Jag har varit ute flera gånger och aldrig sett en enda rovfågel. Hade även gärna velat fotografera ekorrar och kanske rådjur, men aldrig sett till dom heller. Det är bara massa skator, kråkor.....änder, fiskmåsar, blåmesar, björktrastar och annat tråkigt.....aldrig något intressant djur att fotografera.
Hej Niklas och tack för din kommentar 🙏😀 De är där eftersom jag matar dem under vinterhalvåret.
@@Halmstadfoto Aha, vad matar du dom med? Och varför har du Nikon 180-600mm med i rubriken? Du verkar ju använda ett par andra objektiv i denna videon.
