>>3382490>shoulder mountSalvaged an old shoulder mount "steadicam" for 16mm film/cine cameras (1960's) years ago. The belts and buckles are missing... no biggie. I've played about with it over the years. It works.
>MTO-11CA (100mm/11 catadioptric)Got a "Synta" 1250mm f1:13 cat, even on apsc it's dark in the corners but I'd be cropping in anyway. The focusing is super sensitive but with an IR remote I'd have one hand for focusing, the other for shutter release and tracking with my body. Planning to use this for small birbs of prey in the wild. Little fuckers are fast.
>>3382341Long story short: Not very far from Huyton the numbers of raptors has increased. Vegetarians wanted more "nature" and invested in "Nature Reserves". The short eared owls and stoats are very grateful and their numbers are increasing (slowly). Inawoods further away you might get a brief sighting and a lucky snap.
Going out this week on a recce to test the waters. If it looks OK I'll test the "contraption".
