As suggested binoculars are a very personal choice as everyone's eyes and face shape are different and you really need to try a few pairs. Where are you located in the country as there may be an optical dealer not that far from you I currently have a pair of Opticron 10x32 which work for my...

Thanks for sharing your initial thoughts. I'd be interested to hear how the baseplate works in a hide. Like you I looked at the Speedigimbal but then you need to buy their strap if you want to let go of the camera & lens

I think you have identified the issue; they are both quite large crops. Additionally in this recent hot spell heat haze can reduce sharpness

Many thanks for providing a detailed reply. Very helpful

I'm essentially looking for a drone that will enable me to get alternative views for landscape photography. I'm not especially interested in the video aspect; something that can produce images that can print ideally up to A3. Ease of use is important as I know there's going to be a big...

Another option might be to try Motorway. I sold mine and the dealer collects from you

Probably too tenuous to go in the Talk Equipment forum but looking for recommendations for sandals please; currently if I want to go in the water to shoot I've either got to wear my waterproof boots or remove shoes / socks, which gets tiresome quickly. Ideally would like personal recommendations...

Apologies if this has already been covered - I've had a quick skim through the thread but may have missed it. Can anyone please recommend suitable web sites offering guidance on getting started with a drone for landscape photography. I've tried Google but the few sites I've found seemed more on...

I think part of the issue is the constant pressure for all Government departments to do "more for less". Staff usually being the most expensive overhead for a business; at a very senior management level it's easy to understand why pitches for software /AI solutions are very tempting. I note...

I wouldn't necessarily say devious but a clear marketing campaign imo. It's interesting to see similar videos of software X Vs Adobe with discount codes all appearing together. I understand not everyone wants to go down the pay monthly route for software so it is good there are alternatives...

I've owned neither but like you prefer the look of the "full frame" type. The circular version definitely has impact but imo is a bit of a one trick pony that I think I'd tire of quite quickly

At the moment my problem is trying to find Polaris initially!

So are you essentially manually finding Polaris then tweaking by comparing the app view to your finder view ? Apologies as a newbie to this if this is an obvious question I was hoping to get an app to put me pretty close just using my phone until I build sufficient experience

I've just acquired a Star Adventurer 2i tracker for landscape astro photography and discovered that polar aligning is not quite as simple as anticipated. I've done a quick Google search and wondered if there are any UK suppliers of a phone holder similar to this please. They will ship to the UK...

I use the Cotton Carrier for a Canon R7 and EF 100-400ii. I previously had used the Black Rapid strap, which I liked for being able to bring your camera up quickly. However it did hang the weight on one side compared to the CC vest I did look at the knock off version but reports of the camera...
