    Such a great video! Not only your images are getting better and better but also it seems that you feel always more comfortable in front of camera and it's a pleasure to "spend time together", share enthusiasm and learn from you. And of course those shots were stunning!

    Great video very helpful.
    Quick Question , do you use the IS of the lens? i use my 100 400 with Lumix S5 and i find the lens IS very inconsistent especially at crop mode ,C1 and C2 options , where the lens is almost at 700m with E-stab.
    i always get a subtle jittery jello effect that is very hard to stabilize in post ,
    so i end up dont using the lens Stab.
    do you have any similar issues??
    I am trying to find if my lens is defective.
    Thx

    Very insightful video and damn, you have some nice image quality! I'm always looking for practical tips on this subject as I'm planning to get into wildlife and nature video soon.
    Btw, as for your comment on the tired arm from vlogging, maybe it's an idea to use an action camera on a selfie stick for the vlogging footage. Nowadays with stuff like the dji action 4 you get some very good image quality at an extremely light weight. Plus, these cams are perfectly stabilized and give you the option to take underwater shots and w/e to add to your versatility.

    Whats happening with the white flickering background at 6:45 ? Is it just me seeing this? I usually see that effects with mavic shots. Other then that great video! A good tripod is really underestimated. I've had great experience with sachtler, but they are pricey.

    • @SjoerdWess

    What rod base plate are you using for your 6K pro? Mine ends up putting the rods too far down so that matte boxes (that are rod mounted) and lens supports don’t work.
