I've been known to forget an extra layer, but getting better at it, lol
Got you covered Mooseman!
Looks like Michael has a few for you 😂
really enjoying this, just a quick chime in, going back to watch more.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid , do you ever use earphones ? to monitor your audio when filming wildlife ,cheers
This video is getting to be one of my fav T&L vids, probably should keep this type of topic/style in your mix.
We'll definitely be sneaking more of these in. We might have to do a "What's in Mooseman's camera bag!?"
@@TruthLegend HA answer: SNACKS!! 🤣
Very informative for young photographers.Why not Sony camera and G master 200mm to 600mm lens?.Your technical suggestions will help us .Thanks and all the best.Yash.
I’ve used the Sony 200-600 with Sony body and find the Sigma 60-600 is not only better due to a smaller size and better focal range but for video the manual focus on the Sigma is 1000x better. Sony is extremely touchy where the sigma adjusts shifting focus based on how fast you turn the ring and allows very nice fine focus manually. Only limit is sigma isn’t compatible with a teleconverter.
The garbage bag idea is good but I find it can rip easily. So instead I bought a tarp and cut it into different size pieces. It’s useful to cover camera and/or bag. Can of course also use it to sit on if needed. Appreciate your sharing all this. Always good to know what others are doing.
Tarps are great and thank you for sharing!
Between you and Doug I have been watching y'all work for what seems like forever.
Thanks for watching! Doug is another great resources and has done some amazing stuff.
@@TruthLegend Oh absolutely. I learned a ton from y'all and was instrumental in my striving to be a better wildlife photographer. I was a bit star struck meeting him down here in FL back in the Wild Photo Adventures days lol. You are both pretty amazing photographers that have inspired many over the years including myself.
Nice video - confirm the rain jacket cover works in a pinch. We’ve also used the trash bag as a “custom” rain cover (i.e., tear a hole to get it over the monitor) when necessary lol.
You have a lot of gloves man but I see why. Cold hands suck.
Shooting in the rain is amazing as long as you can keep the camera dry. Gloves are important but I’ve got a little hand warmer I’ll highlight in a future episode that is a game changer! Thanks for watching!
@@TruthLegend lol I picked up a couple of those hand warmers based on a podcast I listened to a couple years ago! Agree excellent addition to the kit.
I like your work
Thanks for watching!
Love the video! Nice gear btw!
Thanks for watching!
I like that pack. A lot of camera pack have kind of a useless waist belt that doesn’t transfer any weight to your hips. My Lowepro puts most of the weight on my 59 year old shoulders. Great video!
Yeah it's a great pack, but it's a large one at 80L. Funny enough, the entire team uses the same pack, just different colors. It's size means that it's long enough to cover the torso versus sitting above the waist, resulting in a strap across your abdomen. BUT it's super easy to overload the pack with room to spare.
I have the red V raptor. Two questions. What rails system are you using and what focus gear are you using on that lens specifically?
Michael uses the 19mm Bright Tangerine “Drumstix” titanium rails. The focus wheel is a discontinued Edelkrone Focus ONE but we’ve actually taken that piece off to save weight and find the Sigma lens is pretty easy to focus without.
I'm curious what the weight of your tripod and video head is? I'm at 17lbs and I have yet to find a setup that is lighter that won't shake while filming. Oh, just a thought. You could always sell the jeep in the background for the canon 50-1000mm lens..hahahahaha Great content as usual.
Yeah that's about the weight of the primary setup. We try to use single carbon fiber leg tripods in the field because it saves us a little weight and can get lower to the ground, but there's no replacement for mass when stabilizing these large cameras and lenses. I don't think Brandon would be very happy if we sold his Jeep 🤣
This was interesting. I always wondered what you have to carry out there. Do you have any other protection other than bear spray? Thank you ❤
Bear spray is at 1:12 Mark with the binoculars.
We' will also carry a flare. We will answer this more thoroughly in a future podcast, thanks for the question!
Nice video. So glad you put it together. Do you strap your tripod to the bag, or just carry it? Curious what the loaded bag weighs-ish -did i miss that?
Most of the time we'll just carry the tripod. If we need to use walking sticks, we'll resort to strapping it to the bag, but it gets heavy and unwieldy. I believe this bag is ~52lbs loaded.
@@TruthLegend Dang, that will keep you in shape! I wouldn’t enjoy carrying that up Heart Attack Hill. Love the footage of you out in the field -beautiful stuff; you kinda look like you’re at home out there :)
That’s a lot of weight to carry around, plus the tripod ! You must be very dedicated.
Yeah it's around ~52lbs loaded down 🤣
I'm curious why you went with S35 instead of VV? Limited telephoto selection that covers the VV sensor size?
It’s pretty simple, Canon’s CN20 is a S35 and I primarily use that lens.
@@TruthLegend that makes sense. There’s not many options with that kind of reach. I’m currently running an a7s3 with 200-600mm and while it’s great for the price point I’d love to have a little more reach and a little more resolution at 120fps. A7s3 to a V Raptor is quite a leap though. 😆
