I am looking for a way of carrying a pair of binoculars round my neck and somehow a camera without the straps getting in the way when using one or the other. I am sure someone must have solved this problem.
Binoculars on neck strap (hanging in front), camera and bag on (left) shoulder. Works best for me and I do not think I could manage gear on both shoulders, since it takes concentration to maintain a shoulder carry.

I think you would negate the whole purpose of a gimbal head by attempting to use it on amonopod! By all means try it on a TRIPOD, but I think you would be sorely disappointed trying to use it otherwise ! And severely out of pocket .....
You should try it before deciding. It works fine (with gimbal or ball) as a measure which offers significant steadying without the often-impossible use of a tripod.

Guess I’m crazy by UHH standards. I used a mono/gimbal combo with my 150-600 lens and got nice shots in Africa and Galapagos. I couldn’t imagine dragging a tripod around on those trips.
Yep, it goes to show how wrong people can be when making pronouncements on what they have not tried.

Good idea as long as you tighten the ball to be a little stiff and proceed the same as when you are just hand-holding (since you cannot let the camera go). You will need to be in a spot where you do not have to duck around other spectators.

Good morning,
Could you post a picture that shows the lens with model number showing?
Thanks,

OK. I've just sent it, though I am not sure where you will find it. I linked it to the original announcement.

Here's the lens with markings, the box and the hood. (The Canon lens bag is included, too.)

I currently have a D 7100 and a D 750,that being said, I have it in my mind a desire to have a D 3s.Is this a good thought or should I rid my mind of this. How and what I shoot have nothing to do with this,it may be a GAS thing, I don’t know.
If you just want to own it, go ahead. If you want to photograph, try to identify what capability you desire beyond what your present camera provides, then identify what camera would provide that.

There is no mechanical correct or best h/w image ratio. The best suggestion I can offer is that you get an art book and look at the images until you see what guides the ratio choices.

Hello all,
Being new on the forum I really don't want to stir up a hornet's nest but I have to ask; Post Processing, yes or no? If yes, what program(s) do you use. If no, I'm curious as to why not. To be honest, I do some post processing using GIMP, Dark Table, and Luminance HDR. Not always, but when I feel that a little punch up will turn a good shot into a great one.

Typically, some sharpening and maybe some raising of shadow detail and/or lowering of highlights would be the minimum post-processing, not to mention cropping, of course. Beyond that, most images benefit from application of local or over-all controls when guided by a developed visual sense. In applying digital tools or measures (however you like to think of those), we who've printed B&W and color in the darkroom have a running start on those who have not, but all can be learned.

Then what do I do with it after that?
You should ask the one who will make the print what they can best use for doing it. Be prepared to get back from them some questions they will want you to answer.

Right, haze cannot be caused by VR. The questioner needs to post an example or two to get useful help. There might need to be two photos, one from the "haze" lens and one from another (same view and time). Otherwise, maybe the best suggestion is that it was hazy outdoors.

GP-E1 is for Canon 1D X cameras. It connects to an accessory port on the camera. GP-E2 can connect via hot shoe to a number of Canon cameras, can connect via a cable to some, and when connected will geotag photos. GP-E2 can also be used as a data logger without camera connection and geotag photos using software. This requires accurate setting of camera time.
Thanks for helping clarify.

The GP-E1 and the GP-E2 are compatible with different cameras. Check Canon's web site for a list of compatible cameras for the different models. I have the GP-E2 and it works like a charm with my 5DSR (as long as I remember to keep a fresh AA battery in the GP-E2).
Thanks! I just found Canon's online information unclear and hated to get on the phone.

Anybody have experience with these? I am wondering what is the difference between the GP-E1 and the GP-E2.
