After becoming very comfortable with my D500, I recently decided to dip my toe into the FF world by picking up a pre-owned D810. For birding, i have the Nikon 200-500, the Nikon 300 PF (and 1.4 TC), and the Tamron 100-400, all of which I love. I’m wondering if and how to use two cameras for birding? If we are in a single location (not hiking), my instinct would be to mount the heavier combo (D810 and the 200-500) on my tripod and use the D500/300 PF for handholding for BIF opportunities. Or, is trying to use both more trouble than it’s worth? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

In a single location your logic works ......but not for hiking ! Hiking for me is a single camera/lens on a monopod/bodypod with maybe a close-up lens of some kind in a belted soft case.
