How are you getting the center + 4 helpers on an 80D at 4:00 timeline? I thought you could get the middle 9. I had an 80D and now have a 90D and never saw the center + helpers as option. Thanks.
Guts, as always great advice. similar to yours my go to settings are 1/2500, f5.6, auto iso, capped at 6400, continuous af, center metering, expandable flexible spot programmed to one of the custom buttons for easy access
I am signed up to visit you next year....can't wait. My wildlife settings on a full frame Nikon are: Manual with auto ISO, back button auto focus, usually a 500mm F4 lens, AF-C with single or group focus points (assigned to specific buttons to customize for rapid decisions), 5200K white balance, matrix metering (default), with another button assigned for spot metering. Shutter speed is usually 1/3200, and aperture is wide open to give me bokeh, and keep the auto ISO as low as possible. With my battery grip, I can get 9 frames per second on my D850.
You guys are the best. You motivate and inspireme more each time and ur information and tutorials makes one understand whst to do so much earsier thank guts for you brilliant tips. I am always on the lookout for the next vid. Dnt want to missout on any of them.
Thank you! Very helpful. I’m heading to Sumatra and will test your settings with my Sony a6600. Do you have a video on recommended low light settings? Under the jungle canopy, light will be a challenge.
Thank you for the great tips; all your videos at Pangolin are teaching us well. Looking forward to meet you and the crew this coming May 2020 (if we are aloud to go, if South Africa allow us in, and if coming back to the US will be without issues) we are 8 of us from California for May 8-17 this year. Thank you again
Manual mode 1/2000 f6.3/f5.6 auto iso wb Auto use exposure comp to expose to the right 10 frames a second. I shoot Nikon I use group area focus and single point for perched birds and other subjects.
Very useful ! We always learn, at least this is what I think. We might have many years of experience , but I can bet many of us are still making some mistakes.We might have all settings ready , but when it comes to an action , the adrenaline level does magic to our brain:) Once we calm down, ...we see how many mistakes we did it ..again:) But I don't mind, this is a beautiful passion , and it is worth it any ups and downs. Thank you Tobi for a great video, very helpful and useful .
These sound like dream settings to me but I'm perplexed. I would even be willing to go up to ISO 6400, but in my experience, those settings (f/8 1/2500) require an enormous amount of light, ie They would only work in the very brightest midday conditions and not even if I'm shooting something that's in the shade. I shoot a Nikon d750. Am I missing something?
Hi Guts, love your channel and hope to visit some day. Just bought my first camera. Would like to ask about your boat gimbal chairs. Are they custom built or purchased. I live on the beach in Baja Mx and would like to mount a similar chair to a hitch on a Jeep, truck or Polaris to photo Whales and Rays. Any help would be appreciated. Cody
Guts you mention the single point autofocus with 4 "helpers" - which one is this on the 80D please is it the first choice on the left (Single point AF), or the 2nd one (a group of 9)? On my 80D I can't mimic the display in the video at 2.22? Thanks
Hi Guts. I am following you guys at Pangolin. Just have a question. What is fine art photography. Is it certain camera settings or is it post processing? Wikus
Harman Kataria I think that’s do-able. We are heading to the photography show in Birmingham, UK, next month. Maybe we can do it there a well as highlight all the new cool product releases.
Haha. Guts mentioned that when he saw the film after the edit and said he hoped nobody would spot that. He shoots with a 1dx so I guess he was talking about his own default settings too. Well spotted! Send me your email to info@pangolinphoto.com and I will send you a prize!
Often on the boats we are able to position quite lose to subjects (like smaller birds) and with the cropped sensor of the 80d we don’t need full zoom so you can have a much wider aperture.
Ok I am going to try this again. You had a video the spoke on this same subject only the lens was a canon 100-400mm lens. Do you still have that video or did you remove it. I got more information from that vid than this one. If you could tell me where to find of or tell me you deleted it it would help me alot.
A lot of noise after 3200? I have the 80D and the Sigma 150-600 and anything about 400 iso produces too much noise for my taste. I can't imagine 3200 iso.
Really enjoy watching your videos on how to get the best out of wildlife photography. However can you please make sure the information you are giving out is correct. The "5. Single focus point with four "helpers"." is not on the Canon 80D or 90D or any 000D only the 7D markii and higher valued cameras. I'd love to see you guys compare the 80D 90D and 7d Markii and your opinions on them.
Thank you Martin. You are quite right regarding the focal points. We are learning with every video we make and really appreciate the feedback. We have loads of gear reviews in the pipeline so stay tuned. Enjoy!
Let's see if I understood you in your introduction. If I signed up for a photography safari with Pangolin Wildlife, you will supply me with a camera and lens? Does that mean I can cut my travel weight down by not bringing my photo equipment?
When I photograph my Macaw parrots indoors, and use the Auto ISO...with a f/2.8 on my Canon 1Dx Mark 2 with a 24-70 lens, at 1/1200 second, the pictures have way too much noise and are completely unusable. Sometimes the ISO is 12,500, so I am sure using Auto ISO is good for outdoor photography, but I have had no luck with this setting indoors.
@@PangolinWildlife you are correct my friend! I have decided to reduce the shutter speed to 1/1200 second, keep the f/2.8 aperture, and reduce the ISO to 2000. Since this issue only happens indoors, I have added additional lighting to keep the ISO at a level so there is no noise now. Thank you and your group for all the incredible you offer all of us, we love all of you!
@@PangolinWildlife Maybe the sun doesn't shine bright in the UK? Thanks for the info Philip. I just got into Wildlife photography and this helps a lot.
So lazy to state specs and use footage and illustrations of specs that don't exist in the camera talked about as the one provided to guests - at least at the time the video was made. The same claims are repeated in the video description. Worse still, this aspect of marketing, even if only by implication, continued despite the fact that the errors related to frame rates and focus points of the camera provided to guests have been pointed out in the comments. The honorable thing to do would have been to pull and replace the video or adapt it and repost so it properly reflects the services provided or just sticks to the subject of the video title. This video is a sad blot on an otherwise informative video series.
What are your ‘go-to’ settings for wildlife photography? Put them in the comments below and let's see if there is a general consensus.
Best "Bush Trick" ever! So easy to adjust lens! thank you - can't wait to go on safari again!
well done Guts,great explanations in a understandable way ...........you guys ROCK
Cheers Paul.

Thanks Guts for the good advice .Always nice to learn from you .Enjoy .
Excellent tutorial. Simple and easy to learn. I like your relaxed method of teaching. Will keep watching others by Pangolin as well.
Thank you! Very helpful. I’m heading to Sumatra and will test your settings with my Sony a6600. Do you have a video on recommended low light settings? Under the jungle canopy, light will be a challenge.
GUTS Your legend! You started my photography career! Want more videos of you!! Love you man!
Wow..great information. Is there a monopod you would recommend?
Love the Gimbal/Stand for the cameras you have on the boat, pls share more details on that
Great video, hope to join you sometime in the Chobe
Great photography
Lots of good information, thank you!
Always the very best advice.
Great advice! You would have a hard time missing your shots with these settings in good light. Best of luck to you in 2020!
Excellent, Well done Guts....wish we were there on the Chobe with you now! If you haven't traveled with Pangolin..put it on your priority list.
Hi Denise. Hope to see you in the Chobe again soon! Toby
Spot on advice. Exactly what works for me too.
Thanks for the details... really helpful 👍
You've seriously got some GUTS to shoot at those settings !
Thank you for the great tips; all your videos at Pangolin are teaching us well.

Thank you Tobi for a great video, very helpful and useful .
Might I have the name of the tripod you used in the video. Thank you.
I love that camera mount that your gimble is attached to. Where did you get it from?
Google Gimpro..they have something similar
Your gimbal system on the boat seems to have a bit of wobble. Is it adequate to support say a 600mm F4? Nice video BTW!
neatly explained
New to the channel!! Great advice👍

These DO NOT exist on the Canon 80D or 90D or any of the lower models. It is on the 7D markii and higher priced Canon models.
@@martinn180 Thanks, but Guts said he was using an 80D hence my question, but I now know that my "lower model" doesn't have this facilty.
Baie dankie 😁
Hey Guts, something for R5? Many Tks!
Hello, this is EF/EF-S lense?
what a great idea :)
Thank you! 😊
Hi Guts.
I am following you guys at Pangolin. Just have a question.
What is fine art photography.
Is it certain camera settings or is it post processing?
Wikus
Will you make video on 80d vs 90d???
Harman Kataria I think that’s do-able. We are heading to the photography show in Birmingham, UK, next month. Maybe we can do it there a well as highlight all the new cool product releases.
Hi Guts, what is your recommendation around default VR / IS lens setting, i.e. should it be switched off if shooting at >1/500?
Where do you you find an 80D that shoots 14 frames/sec?
Haha. Guts mentioned that when he saw the film after the edit and said he hoped nobody would spot that. He shoots with a 1dx so I guess he was talking about his own default settings too. Well spotted! Send me your email to info@pangolinphoto.com and I will send you a prize!
I’m sure they’re 7 fps
Also the widest aperture on the 150-600 c at 600 is 6.3
Yes thats correct.
Often on the boats we are able to position quite lose to subjects (like smaller birds) and with the cropped sensor of the 80d we don’t need full zoom so you can have a much wider aperture.

Hi Michael. Did you perhaps mean this one of Charl? : ua-cam.com/video/XghUTkti3vY/v-deo.html
What settings do you use on night wild life photography
A lot of noise after 3200? I have the 80D and the Sigma 150-600 and anything about 400 iso produces too much noise for my taste. I can't imagine 3200 iso.
Good tips 🤙😉
Hi is the canon 90d is good enough for amateur (means for people want to start wildlife photography) .
Yes its a great camera.
Thank you very much...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I think that fast moving subjects indoors are always going to be a challenge.

Thank you and your group for all the incredible you offer all of us, we love all of you!
so you always keep your shutter speed at 1/2500?
Does the 90d have the “ four helpers “
No it doesn't and neither does the 80D. Others mention this in comments. Video should be remade imho
Please someone tell me where I can find this thing that looks like a tripod but it is not a tripod . I really need it
Hi Aris. we designed it ourselves...you will have to come to The Chobe to try it out.
Pangolin Wildlife Photography Ok thanks you so much for responding
Hi my name is Lloyd I love ❤️ all your videos can you please help me. Is nikon d7500 good wildlife photography
Guess with the mirrorless cameras you can cap the ISO much higher
Sound advice.
You wouldn’t take many pictures in the uk if you shot at 1/2500 an f8 and kept your iso below 3200.
Good point Philip. However with the glorious summers you have had recently I hope you had better opportunities.
@@PangolinWildlife Maybe the sun doesn't shine bright in the UK? Thanks for the info Philip. I just got into Wildlife photography and this helps a lot.
So - you just need to bring your own memory cards? What if you want to shoot a mix of video and stills - same thing?
Nope. We supply the memory cards. 1x 16 gig per day for free. If you want to do more video though I suggest bring extra sd cards.
