I booked a private bird hide last year and wasn’t sure how to set up my tripod to allow the lens to protrude outside the hide. The organiser advised to put two legs to the front and to extend the other leg to prop up the tripod close to the edge of the hide. This was fine for static photos but not for panning as the ball head rotated in the wrong plane.
The only other solutions I have been offered is hides that allow two tripod legs outside the hide or a metal plate that holds a gimbal that stands on a secure shelf.
There must be another solution, but what?
