Out with my new birding " support " today

I just purchased a Gitzo 1325 and I must say, WOW!

This thing is solid! I am really impressed and recommend it to anyone looking for a (last purchase) tripod for any lens in the Canon lineup.... (except the 1200mm)

I am paving the way for the next lens....

500 or 600 ....

My shots from today did not turn out that great but that was my fault not the tripods ... here is one of a GBH in he shade at just after sunrise. There was no way to get a better angle as I was on the side of a river.

Absolutely beautiful images, Eric.

Wonderful job Eric, how heavy is the tripod? I like using a tripod, but not carrying it.

Thanks guys... The tripod weights 4.5lbs..pretty light to be able to hold 26 lbs...

Real nice shots Eric, especially the last, especially considering the stacked TC's.

Very good captures Eric. I too like the last one the most in your series.

#3's the one Eric!

Sounds a good tripod you purchased. The last image of the Heron is a magnificent shot Eric and I love the second image too, very interesting, well done.

Thanks everyone....
