>>4401686I can setup mine in about 90 seconds pretty easily, although it usually takes longer since it's during low light for longer SS for landscapes/environments and I'm either tired or lazy at that point depending on if early morning or late day.
I spend more time after the tripod is up getting framing and moving the whole rig around rather than initial setup. To be honest monopods seem like a great middle ground but haven't used them much.
Tempted to snag one for hiking but want to practice and learn more holding techniques first.
>>4401689>I think wildlife photography is more about being in the woods and the photos are the bonus100% this, as a fisherman/hunter, I don't mind not getting anything as I'm in nature enjoying the beauty of this world. Same with photography, I don't get upset if I miss a shot because I still got to see something cool.
