Thank you for that music information. I thought it sounded like a 'sweeping western' type of sound and 'Lonesome Dove' would make sense. I never saw 'Cider Hr' but I will have to listen to it, was very pretty.
Yes, you had some tricky terrain there in the stream , but you shot it pretty steady!!
Sounds like tripod almost became monopod but with extra 'support' ...
What tripod and head are you using . I am actively looking for a good one, hoping to stay @ $400-500 including head, but ...
Carbon fiber would be nice, a fluid head for panning, wildlife, and some video. I did a quick check on sliders a few months back, seem to recall $300 ish? I would love to do that with star trails, and others.
I am mostly still photography now, but with the places we go, I do have video that Imwant to start documenting like you are with a full video.
Thank you again,
Nancy
I have several tripods, but for travel I primarily use the lightest one I have:
STX PRO 656 (chinese make that I bought in West Yellowstone
after destroying my previous tripod)
Acratech 26007 leveling base
Velbon PH-368 video head on top of the Acratech leveling base
I also use a heavier tripod sometimes with Jib or slider:
Davis and Sanford Provista 7518B
Fm18 fluid head on the Provista
I also like to use a monopod:
Manfrotto 560-B1
Manfrotto 700RC small video head on top
This is what I use when the tripod is not practical.
None of these items are very special, and not really pro grade equipment, so they can be purchased without getting a bank loan. Lol.
