  • Hey there Scott, Great info and great vid. I had a quick question, is that the 1dII as your backup? And also, have you ever shot on a IIN and notice any differences when it comes to the AF?

  • @4Alpha7Kilo - thanks for the kind words about the videos. I have both the 1d Mk2n and Mk2 bodies and, frankly, don't notice any difference whatsoever in the AF speed between the two. They're great bodies (still) and can be found rather inexpensively now days.

  • Hey Scott,

    Thank you for sharing this information so openly. I certainly appreciate it since I just picked up a 300 2.8 and found it a bit unwieldy while also carrying my 70-200.

  • @TiltShiftOrchestra66 - You're very welcome. Good luck!

  • I'm telling you get the Black Rapid R-strap. You never look back

  • @paul3263 I haven't used the BR strap, but many people seem to like it. I have seen other photographers use it and, frankly, I haven't been too thrilled with the way it flops around their waist. And I've yet to see someone use it with a Think Tank belt/harness system. If someone wants to send me one, I'll give it a good, honest workout and post a video on my thoughts. :D I do think I'll try the Cotton Carrier this fall, though.

  • Thank you!!!! Great, great advice!!!

  • scott,

    been looking into monopods lately... haven't seen much discussion about the good and bad; saw a few with leg stands and a few without - for you, whats the most important qualities in a good monopod (head/ extension/materials/grip/etc..­.)

    thanks

  • @sds4kst8 yep.

    Heck I shot NCAA Lacrosse in Baltimore and did it with Olympus. Not as fast as some with frames per second, but it got the job done.

  • @McLaranium - I am assuming you mean to pre-focus in a particular area, just so the lens doesn't have as far to catch up when the action comes that way? That's good to do, but one is still going to have to focus through the action to get sharp images. Just wanted to be clear on that. :D

  • I shot a high school football game for the first time today, and I wish I would have had some knee pads. Fantastic idea with that.
