Hello
I'm a proud owner of a 6D. I've used this camera with the first generation of Tamron's 150-600. With 6D's excellent iso performance it's not any problem using it with a less speedy lens.
Today I sell my A011 Tamron 150-600 and tomorrow I'll get the new G2 A022 lens. This lens has VC and Focus modes.

Next week I'll try this setup in a hide to photograph eagles. I've been in this hide before so I know how the eagles works in this area. It's 50/50 of situations. Both stills and in flight.
What settings with this combo are the best for my visit next week?

Maybe someone own this setup?

if you've been there before you could use the same settings that you used with the previous 150-600mm...

The G1 doesn't allow for VC while panning, so that is one big difference. Personally I would go with setting the VC to the panning mode if there is any possibility of needing to pan. Even if you are using 1/1000s or greater shutter speeds I still like the stabilised view in the VF. It's why I went for the Sigma C over the Tamron G1. If the lens has an xx-infinity settings I would also use that option, but that would IIRC be the same as the G1.
