Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head

after years birding, I am start looking for light setup and also suitable for Tropical rain forest environment …

we normally shooting in the dense environment , so low light, high ISO , low shutter speed are terms we always talk and trying to resolve ..

this new Gitzo fluid Gimbal head definite a light setup , and support for most the heavy setup light 400mm F2.8, 500mm F4, 600mm F4 … and etc . support is one concern but whats the success rate of shooting at comfortable shutter speed eg in Malaysia Rain Forest I always shooting 1/30 , ISO 1600-3200 at F4 .. if I always trying to get something can give me high success rate 1/30-1/60

my tests are simply practical , I swing the gimbal without lock and shoot with M mode, Fit aperture 4,7.1,8.0 but with 1/10,1/30, 1/40,/50,1/60,1/100 … with birds that move non stop …

*** no full lock of the head, just swing and press shutter , M mode fix shutter speed and Aperture but AUTO ISO , fast burst mode without remote cable

1/50 [ 5/7 in focus and no shake]

1/40 [3/7 shots without shake]

1/80 [ 6/6 all no shake]

1/30 [1/3 no shake]

1/30 [3/5 no shake]

1/60 [7/9 no shake]

some sample pictures sharing for the 150mm filters shooting

update 2015 Aug 18

1. why do we need wider

– below pictures show when wider we can see more sky and reflection

2. why do we need filters

as other landscape photographer … we need GND for have both sky and foreground exposure balance

–> we can now have GND , Gradual Neutral Density filter to have the sky well expose

–> by add on CPL 150mm

–> by add in ND 3.6 (12 stops nd)

Birding with Circular polarizer on Telephoto lenses … why ?

I like to use CPL on my landscape, and I ask myself do I need one for my birding and based on my understanding … I MUST have one 😀 … and I bought one for test …. (results from last years testing and now only I have time to share this)

beside getting better reflection … I seldom do wader photography … so not rally have test result … but I found it is very useful in the forest ….

let’s picture tell the story

we always have reflective leafs create “white spots” that we really hate to have .. e.g.

without CPL and Background reflective leafs create white spots

that I add in CPL and reduce the flare direction

with CPL rotate it to minimum flare ... the white spot gone :D — with CPL rotate it to minimum flare … the white spot gone 😀

or another sample of our GEM of forest Garnet Pitta

without CPL or without rotate CPL to minimum flare

with CPL rotate to minimum flare ... — with CPL rotate to minimum flare …

a simple video record while rotating the CPL

you can obviously see how the CPL help me 😀

if you interest on CANON PL-C52 (WII) or NIKON C-PL1L (52mm) feel free to contact me .. as I got limited units available
