<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Michael, apart from view can u control aperture, speeds and ISO also from your iPad using cam ranger ?</p>

<p>Puppy Face,<br>

Will it be possible with 1DX and 5DMK III</p>

<p>Could you please give ideas to control the camera from the distance with live view of what the camera is seeing on the laptop and controlling the ISOs, aperture, shutter speed ?</p>

So it will be better if I have a 5542 for the tripod and z2 or (Arc Swiss Monoball Z1 sp) for the ball head. I was suggested a Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal Tripod Head II but was wondering whether it will come in my suitcase while traveling so was considering the options. Z2 seems a good option. And what do u say about about Sachtler FSB 8 ?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>I am to support my Canon 1DX + EF 600mm f4 + 1.4x TC. Its just that I want it lighter as it will be difficult carrying all these equipments as I have to walk around long distance in search of the animals and birds. I preferred ball head to sidekick as I want to pack all these into my luggage while traveling by air. And of course there are also limits of baggage u can carry without paying the extra baggage fees.<br>

Thanks.</p>

<p>Please suggest the tripods(light) and ball head for supporting my Canon 1DX + EF 600mm f4 + 1.4x TC. I am into Birds mostly. Somebody suggested Gitzo with a sachtler FSB 8. Please advise what will be good.</p>

<p>I guess the only solution is to work on my strength.</p>

<p>Wish me luck, I now have Canon 1DX and Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM and my prime interest is mostly Birds. I went for a 5 day photography tour but from the beginning of the 3rd day onwards, I could not even lift my camera and lenses. And with this lens there is no flexibility when the subject is nearer and it becomes difficult to compose the subject. So I was just thinking whether I should sell this 600mm and get a EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X ?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Yes I am using 1DX with a 600mm lens. And its heavy and more so with the Gitzo tripod with wimberley head. And yes its very heavy but I am not able to capture bird in flight with it. so I was just thinking about something portable.</p>

<p>I have a 1DX and 5DMKIII with a 600 mm and 17-40 ? Carrying 1DX with 600mm is becoming very heavy for me. Do u think adding ef 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM with a 1.4x TC will be better?</p>

<p>Please let me know whether using Sigma 150-500 f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM (Canon) on my second body Canon 30D apart from 5DMKIII with 600 mm will be good idea.</p>

<p>I am serious hobbyist/enthusiast and recently started doing wildlife and birding apart from the landscape and street photography which I have been doing. I presently use a 5D Mark III and bought a 600mm too but was just considering whether I should upgrade to 1DX and use my 5D Mark III for landscape and street photography.<br>

Please advise.</p>

So i guess i should be using 600 mm series II lens with a 1DX after doing some practice.

<p>Thanks a lot, Richard I have a Gitzo and a wimberley head but mobility with it is greatly reduced and I am having difficulty going distance with it.</p>

<p>I am presently using 5D MK III, 17-40, 70-200(2.8), 180(macro), 600(f4). I mostly shoot landscape, wildlife and birds. But I am having difficulty shooting bird in flight as 600mm is too heavy. I was thinking whether I should buy a 1DX and 400 (5.6). I can shoot BIF with it and other wildlife/birds with 600mm and used the 5D Mark III for landscapes. Please suggest.</p>
