    Awesome! 👍
    Seriously, with the lenses Nikon has brought and will bring, wildlifephotography will get hole new possibilities!
    It is not all perfect yet. In my opinion they need more good bodies and actually delivering the orders quick.

    Great quality review and video Morten. I don’t use Nikon but it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos regardless what the topic is. I am fascinated by the tripod that you are using in this video. For me as a wildlife photographer / filmmaker this super quick functionality of setting the tripod up / packing it down seems like an essential piece of tech I am missing in my gear. Any chance you would kindly share the model of this tripod? Thank you.

    @mortenthorpe 2 года назад

    Hehe… f7.1 is also the sweet spot I’ve found for photographing action… birds in flight… it’s a good compromised for focus and subject separation, and it doesn’t place too much stress on having absolutely the very best lenses to accomplish this. It works fine with the Nikon 300 mm PF, and also on Fuji, using the XF 100-400 mm (on Fuji, choosing the right custom AF setting becomes paramount to your success)

    How do you record video footage from the viewfinder. I have noticed that you don't have a recorder (like the atmos ninja) attached to the camera. So was curious that
    1. is there a way to record the viewfinder without an external recorder, or
    2. you just records the video separately
    Would greatly appreciate the help.
