Also, I would bring your largest lens along with others.

You are welcome.
Check their website. Cheapest option is two day pass. I believe they are good for any consecutive days. Buy passses before you go. They don't sell them when they let photographers in early am, just a park employee at a side gate letting people in with passes.

Farther than you said you wanted to Drive, but the Alligator Farm in Orlando has incredible numbers of nesting Egrets (3 kinds), herons, Spoonbills, and woodstorks at that time. Photographers pass for early and late shooting.

IT Supplies (previously Atlex) will send you a free ICC profile for any of their papers if you print the target they email on that paper with your printer. Apparently more accurate than the generic ones that come with the printer.

Mine has worked great. I went to a much larger Jobu for my Canon 500 F4; 7 pounds of lens was too much. My Nikon 500 F5.6 works fine and I'm back to the Acratech.

I copy from cards to a file server and back that up onto two other Seagate drives. I keep one of them in a fire safe.
I have found Fastcopy (freeware) to work great for incremental backups. With as few files as you have, Costco now has a Sandisk 1T USB 3 SSD for about $120. this would be a bunch faster than copying to a hard drive. I would expect 4,000 pics to take about 5 minutes.

I once lost pics because the controller for the mirrored drives failed and was not replaceable. I currently use a QNAP file server (4, 4 TB drives) with backups to two Seagate 6 TB drives. As I exceed the single drives, I get bigger ones.

I would email her some jpegs at 800x600 75 DPI. If she then asked, I would probably send one or two prints. If you are a professional, it is good advertising; if not, why not give her a gift?

Mine works fine with hand holding.

I would strongly recommend the Acratech GP Ball-Head rather than the long lens head. It's much more versatile and easier to manage. I used the long lens pano head with 7 lb lens but since lightening up, have gone back to the ball head. Less than a pound.

I used to shoot Canon. The 500 PF replaced my 7lb 500 F4. It's sharper than the 200-500 zoom. I also have the 80-400 which some say is sharper than the 200-500 and that I find a great range below the 500.
The focus problems are usually with birds in flight. The Nikon rep said that at F8, the peripheral focus points don't follow and the center needs to be on the subject.

Great lens. I did replace the foot with the RRS one so it doesn't fall off. I'm disappointed in how compromised the autofocus is on my D850 with the 1.4 TC.

Last time I went to Kenya, I brought my Canon 7DII, 1DxII, 500, 100-400 and a landscape lens. I would highly recommend a "Photographic" or private safari with only one person per row in the vehicle. I used both large lenses a lot. I never used the tripod.

I would disagree with your general rule, especially with higher end equipment. I sold all of my canon equipment and none of it went for as little as half of the new price.

Au contraire, the 500 PF is an f5.6. I love it, but the focus is limited with a 1.4 and i can't use a 2.0 extender. Would that it were f4.
Also, I recently, on switching to Nikon for that lens, sold my Canon 500 F4 for $6000. It is currently $9000 now on sale new at B&H.
