The purpose of a camera’s battery grip is to weigh it down, you begin to have second thoughts about your hobby.

Seriously, the battery grip holds an additional battery. Therefore more photographs can be made. It will not increase the speed of the camera. You don’t switch out another battery prematurely.

Personally, I feel that a battery grip is to impress others that you have the largest camera around. In reality, NO!


I use a battery grip because I have large hands, not as a status symbol, not all are as synical as you

I am considering a road trip to Tennessee to experience the fall foliage at the tail of the dragon, and I understand there are some other areas there With awesome foliage and photos ops. I would love to hear from natives in the area about the best time to view the area and its wonderful fall foliage, aswell as other points of interest in the state.

I want to thank you all in advance for your time, info, and suggestions.

Thats a good price... but 55 lbs capacity! and it weight 5 pounds.... it's a heavier duty tripod for big lenses and bigger cameras or other equipment..

How will you use it? If you want to carry it with you, really, I'd suggest getting one closer to your weight specs, and one that you won't say- "I don't feel like lugging that today" (though it is only 5lbs)... because the best tripod is the one you have with you when needed.

If you can find a less heavy duty one, and use the saved $$$ toward a good "forever" head , then it will come with you more often. ( I have the RRS BH 40 (I don't remember the price) + Gitzo Mountaineer 2541 which then was only $538 in 2013- Maaaan the price has doubled!, with a D800E, various prime lenses.. no problems with equipment weight) --- in fact you will appreciate head performance over tripod. but when you have both- you are finished with tripod purchases forever! I see other Gitzo's on sale at B&H...

Frankly, i carry mine all over- everywhere, backpacking into the wilderness, top of mountains, in a canoe, on Salt and fresh water beach's ... etc. etc. and i see how it has worn- or rather- how it has NOT worn! It's worth the money in a great design. Thus, I'd consider a used gitzo in a heartbeat, I mean you'd want to look it over, deep scratches on the tubes would be evident. I have not been a nut with cleaning it, but then i paid for it so i don't throw it around at all, and i bought the gitzo case for it!.. so you might think it was new. They are very well made, and take a good amount of use and abuse, and expensive so people, I assume like me, don't throw them around.

However, they do hold their value, so even used they will be dear. Thing is, people don't often sell them- they are a forever purchase, so you'd have to be patient, and watch for them, wait for someone like me to die, and hope their uninterested kin don't realize how much they are worth! LOL...

I have a D500 and will use it with my Tamron 150 to 600 as well as smaller lenses

Is there a source that I could access That compares hard drives especially SSD drives I'm looking to buy 1 or 2 and would like to get reviews and unbiased opinions

I've been looking at SSD drives both external and internal I've seen Western Digital /Seagate/ SanDisk and others, where would I go to compare These drives and I'm open to informed and experienced opinions from the hoggers. They had a San disk extreme external hard drive one terrabyte for 129 at Costco. And I'm aware you don't want to skimp on a drive but I don't want to pay for comparable quality that could be achieved in Comparable drives. And I know I'd want at least 1TB if not more

The last time I was in Minnesota it was negative 15 with negative 40 windchill I was able to use my fingers for about a minute. Then flip the mittens back over the fingers for a bit. I don't know how those cows and horses can stand in the river in that kind of weather I was just out of Rochester. Nice capture

I want to play each and every one of you for your input, As I shoot AD 500 which does not have even a pop up Flash I've never really used one. Hence the next question what is a modifier I'm assuming it's a light Box umbrella some sort of form of reflective material To the fuse and/or bounce the light off of

You want to remember that what you are shooting is a reflection of the Sun hence you want to shoot it as if it were the Sun almost. F14 plus or minus adjust shutter and iso as neede Until you get the detail you want. many shoot it as if it were dark when in fact as mentioned earlier you want to shoot it as if it were the Sun. Keep the shutter speed as fast as possible because it does move and adjust the iso
