I have a D5600, purchased this year and a Tamron 150 -600 G2 purchased shortly afterwards.
The lens is a superb contender and delivers crisp clear shots. Even shooting BIF, hand held in burst I can get 3 to 4 out of 5 shots worth keeping as far as quality goes. Be aware that at full 600 having a tripod or mono pod will render better results but don't be afraid to try it without support. Great combo.

I had a "Wired Hair" Fox Terrier. Sure puts a lot of energy in your life!
Great animals.
Agreed! No Alcohol! Definitely will hurt some of the new coatings. Blow and brush first then use lens cleaning solution (smells like windex to me) but NO ammonia and NO alcohol.
G drives are pre-formatted for Mac but easily reformatted for windows.
Agreed G Tech is the way to go. Have a 2 TB and a 4 TB. They last forever (Well almost)
Holy Toledo...Nice shots!
Corel After Shot Pro 3. Around $70.00 and you own it. Easy to learn with lots of tutorials.
Highway to Hell ( I hate auto correct"
The fact there is a "Stairway to Heaven" and a "Highway to Heaven" speaks a lot about anticipated traffic volumes!
Agreed! Barrel roll is what the Red Barron used to do. Avoid vertical planes (no pun intended) near the edges and you should do fine.
As stated earlier by others the thing you have to beware of is how long these batteries were sitting on a shelf before they got to you. Shelf life for Ni-Cad and Li-On batteries are 3 years at best. Hence Duracell's 3 year warranty. I figured they were newly manufactured or they wouldn't be giving you that warranty. I get them home, I charge them and then run them down to see how they stack up against OEM. If they don't perform as well they go right back. Check your return policy before you buy.
Good luck.
Just recently bought 2 back up batteries of the same exact type as yours from "Duracell Direct USA .com" (Looked them up and they were a legit site)
for half the price (about $20.00/ea.) came with a 3 year warranty. Original equipment manufacturer(OEM) batteries cost double that. But wait it gets better...
OEM batteries are 1230 mAh. The replacements are 1300 mAh! How could I go wrong? Very easy it seems.
When I get notice of shipping it says two 1300 mAh batteries are on the way.
When they arrive the shipping invoice says two 1300 mAh batteries.
Open the box and it contains two Duracell batteries with a label that states 1300 mAh.
Open the packages and take out the batteries and they state 1100 mAh! WHAT!
Then the E-mail battle ensues.
They take 2 days in-between E-mail's to respond to my claim of "bait and switch."
They say it is a web site error and they don't make 1300 mAh batteries.
After a week of correspondence I begin to get annoyed and mention that I will take this to higher authorities if I don't get some satisfaction. It's amazing that I can get a response within 20 minutes the minute I mention Social Media, Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's Office.
Long story short, I eventually cave and go to B&H and order two OEM batteries from them, only to find out the next day that Duracell is giving me a full refund and told me to keep the batteries, they don't want them back. Needless to say I now have enough batteries to take about 10,000 shots a day without ever having to be near a charger. Sorry about the rant but this was more of a "Buyer beware" Public Service Announcement. It turned out OK for me but only when I threatened legal action.
To get back to your original question I have always bought non OEM batteries from after market manufacturers (Even for Smart batteries with the chip in them) and have gotten higher or the same mAh for less money and have never had a problem. As long as the voltage and power ratings are the same you should be OK.
I always shop till I drop before I buy too. Yes it is a curse but it gets you educated as to what you need.
B&H has an "Oben" carbon fiber Lateral tripod with a BE-117 ball head for about $270.00 (Lists for $500.00). Been trying it out and am very satisfied with it. You can always upgrade in a couple of years
if you plan on doing portraits or other rock solid work. This is a great all around type of Tripod.
Leaving a body attached to a long lens during transport could possibly strain the mount if the combination were jostled around. Otherwise there is really no reason to not keep it mounted, in fact it might be better to leave it on to prevent dust from getting into the body when stored at home for long intervals. Travel with a hard case and your problem is solved.
