Going to be shooting my first football game ever this Saturday during the daytime, Not sure on the time yet but ISO won't be an issue for sure. I have been using Case 1 on my 7D Mark II and has been working great however I know Sports may require a different setup to freeze the motion. Has anyone shot Little League Football before with the 7D Mark II? What case did you use?

I just shot my first American Football Game, yesterday, using a 7dii. But, I shoot soccer all the time.

I used case 4, although I like case 6 in instances where the autofocus will have a hard time locking on the subject, such as a bright sunny day where they are wearing white jerseys. I am using a Sigma 120-300 Sport, which does not focus quite as fast as Canon lenses. Case 6 is basically the same as Case 4 if you are only using a single focus point.

In shooting soccer, I found that case 1 didn't keep up with the players. The difference between 1 and 4 is that acceleration/decelerat​ion tracking is faster.
