I have recently quite active in wildlifes shooting and make me upgrade my Manfrotto 516 video head to Sachtler FSB8 … and let share overall my experience with my gear …
1. my main landscape ball head – FLM 38FT with FLM QRP70 + LB30 balancer
– it sturdy, good fiction control
– use it for Canon 300mm F2.8 IS2 without any issue
2. standby or travel ball head – FLM 32F with Fotopro standard arca swiss QR system
– good up to 70200 F2.8 lenses portrait mode no issue
– fiction control is good
– light and smaller size
– the QR without safety lock so have to take extra care
3. Pano Head – Nodal Ninja NN5
– use for pano
– with new install arca swiss QR , flexible compare to older tradition plate
– only use for large print purpose project
4. wildlifes/bird head – Sachtler FSB8
– the fiction is fantastic, smooth, sturdy,
– many level control ..
– help me a lot on low light shooting
*** more demo on Sachtler FSB8 will be share later with len mount
