thanks i posted the photo because of comments i made on another thread BOP don't like you to get to close when there hunting so using a 300mm and a mono pod i take photos 100-150m away then crop photo the pod makes it so much easier to get a usable photo

Beautiful, but that has to be 300 2.8L or something ....yes?

Good advice on the pod thanks, I will have to try it. Between my eyesight and needing damned glasses then removing t hem to use the diopter, then having shaking hands it is so frustrating lately! Then I lose track of teh bird and have to put the glasses back on and start again LOL
