update 202403

– another chance to photograph and see this bird.. this bird is not easy at most of the location except Danum Valley which is seem quite easier. Even after all people have a good look I still have chance to take a picture of this shy and active song bird

– 其实在很多地方,这鸟都是非常难看好+拍到。除了丹浓谷,我几乎每次都看到。。(当然不是拍到,还是非常活跃+害羞的)。。。这次,这鸟让全部看到后,还站了一会让我拍拍。还是有点暗

– a bird that pretty common and reasonable easy at Danum Valley… but not sure why so difficult to take a picture at Peninsular Malaysia

– 这鸟在西马很难看到,拍到。在婆罗洲几个地方反而较容易。

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]
