A friend and I plan on being in Orlando the 2nd week of December. It may not be the best time to shoot migratory birds but we would like to try to get some shots. I am familiar with Apopka Lake wildlife drive, and Merritt Island wildlife drive but maybe someone may have some better suggestions. We will spend a number of days at Orlando parks. I will be using a Tamron 150-600 and friend will have Tamron18-400.
Just a thought. years ago i visited this place https://www.butterflyworld.com/plan-your-visit-admission-rates/. Not sure how it is today but back then it had some great photo ops.

I use the manfroto 393. The available long quick release is on both my long lenses providing perfect balance point. I have it mounted to a monopod most of the time. It is great for bif. only down side is weight.

The emergency release on a garage door opener hangs down in the door opening and is red in color. Makes the garage a big trap for hummers. Cover the red portion with black electrical tape to fix the problem.

Greetings. Considering purchasing a monopod. I mostly shoot sports - soccer, surfing, lacrosse, etc. Just wondering if a ball head is necessary. My thought is to just mount to to top of monopod as I move about and would use the monopod basically for support. Your though and advice are appreciated. John
I have used a gimbal head on a monopod for wildlife for several years. Mine weighs a little under 4 lbs and I use it with a nikon d750 and 200-500 lens. My first monopod was not a quality one and the top mount screw sheared off. The strap around my neck saved camera and lens. I got a better monopod (mine is a promaster) and have had no problem since.
Manfrotto 393 Heavy Telephoto Lens Support for Monopod. It has 2 "U" shaped sections inner and outter. For my use mounting the lens on long plate allows balance adjustment for various lenses. i have several plates to allow quick change of lens in use. Online adds show use with inner "U" inverted. I use it with the "U"'s in the upright position providing better control.

i use a pelican 1560 case for storage. and assorted lowpro cases when i go out for a shoot. I hope this protects my cameras by removing them from the case that went thru changes in temperature and humidity.

the 200-500 does well with the 1.4 tc ii as well.
