Thank you so much Alan..! NZ is FAB and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time there. Take of you both..! ❤️

Glad you found it useful.! all the best, g

Thank you Sanette..! They are indeed magnificent creatures. ❤️🙏

@One can just imagine to be in the presence of such wonder. And of course….the music adds to the splendor! Well done!♥️

You are too kind..! ☺️🙏

Hi and yes.. it does shoot 120 fps. I have lived and worked in UK and Europe all my life so have the 25/50/100 ingrained in me, and although when shooting wildlife outdoors it makes no difference to 50mhz electricity preferred in his part of he world (only becomes noticeable when shooting in scenarios with added lighting) I also prefer the look of 25fps to 30fps for "real-time" speed so the 50 & 100 fit better into that timeline speed than the 60/120. Cheers, g

Thank you again Sanette..! 🙏

Hi Sanette and thank you again.. makes me happy you enjoyed it.! all the best to you, g. 🙏❤️

@ have a good night george♥️

@@GeorgeSBlonsky I just want to say how amazing it is to receive a message back….. miles and miles from where I live….someone aspiring to the same things I aspire to….yet worlds apart. How absolutely AMAZING life is! Just a thought. Good night…..thunderstorm and 9.30 in South Africa. 🙌🏽🌅🌍

Sannette.. the amazing thing is that we are thousands of miles away and yet in the same time zone (I am living in Greece now)..and.. we also have a rainy evening here..! Have a lovely evening. ❤️

@ This is so awesome! Life!!!!! Yeah, crazy…….although some people would just write it off as ….’normal’, …..life is still fascinating beyond our wildest adventures. The fact that I share a message with someone in Greece…and it takes….seconds… to get there and for you to respond…..maybe I am just thankful that I got to get a bit of the wonderful technology that was not around 30 years ago. Fascinating! 😁🌍🌅😍♥️🐍

Hi and thank you for your comment and questions.. I do have ND's but anyway prefer mostly to shoot mostly pre-dawn and dawn and then golden hour. Living in Greece the light tends to be too harsh during the day even with an ND and I don't like the look of the shots so i avoid unless absolutely necessary. Definitely get the BMPCC Pro with the built-in NDs though as it will help and having them internally will make a huge difference to ease of use.. unfortunately it wasn't available when I bought my 6k but I would have got it had it been. Regarding zooming when filming (incidentally I do intend to make a video on this subject at some point) the simple answer is that I never do it. If you watch any wildlife documentary you will likely never see any zoom shots or at least they are incredibly rare.. simple reason being they are mostly "uncinematic".. at most what I will do is a very very gentle "push-in" or "pull-out" in the edit if the shot benefits but again this is rare. Mostly used is a jump-cut from a wide to a close or vice versa. Hope that helps some. All the best, g

​@@GeorgeSBlonsky Thanks for such a speedy response. I had given up trying to zoom, so it sounds like I've done the right thing there! Thanks for the advice on the ND filters too

Thanks again Connor. If I remember right I think I posted my first video in 2018 but I've only taken it more seriously for the last couple of years. Though posting regularly is difficult in this genre given the amount of time it takes to make each video and making ends meet in the real world has to take priority.

@@GeorgeSBlonsky I completely understand! I am a full time college athlete trying to make it work as well! Your work shows your dedication to your craft!!

Thanks so much Connor..! Much appreciate you taking the time to drop me a line. 🙏 all the best to you, g

Thank you so much Jose for the lovely compliment.! 🙏 I really appreciate you saying so.!! Best wishes g

Hi Sanette and thank you for your question. All the shots in this particular video are just with ambient light.. no flash used at all. The location is Lake Kerkini in Northern Greece. Thanks again & best wishes, g

Thank you and best wishes🙌🏽🌅

Hi Immanuel and thank you for your comment..! I will do that soon but for the moment it will only be for daylight filming. I'm actually working on a set up to be able to also film high resolution at night from a camera trap but that one will take a bit longer to produce. All the best, g

Hey Gregg.. thanks for the question. To be honest I'm not too familiar with the 4k but I thought it had a Micro 4/3's mount..? Or are you asking how to adapt an F mount Nikon lens to the 4k's MFT mount..? If that is indeed your question I'm pretty sure that Metabones must produce an adaptor to suit. Let me know. All the best, g

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you found it useful. All the best to you, g

You are most welcome.. thank you for your comment.. g

I have good memories of my time at LCP and that corner of London.. I miss those days so thank you so much Paul for the trip down memory lane.. it’s a small world we live in.!

Thank you Bhupinder..!! 🤞for when you come..!

Just as a friendly tip: around 11: 15 I think you have filmed a Beaver (Castor fiber) instead of an Otter (Lutra lutra). Kind regards, Per

@termikflaskhalsar ..thanks Per, well done for spotting my “deliberate” mistake.. 😉… it’s actually a Nutria, Myocastor Coypus. I should have matched what I said with the image but in the event I couldn’t find the shot in my footage. Cheers g

Hi Anthony and thank you for your comment and question. I try to have the kit as together as I possibly can and usually only have the mic and external drive detached in carrying as these are the most sensitive to being damaged in transit. Having said that I have yet to find a backpack that holds it nicely and safely so it's all a bit of a workaround. Hope that helps. cheers g

@@GeorgeSBlonsky Thank you! That's pretty much what I did last weekend. Removed monitor and mic and put it lens down with that cover thing over the lens hood. Thanks for the reply, I was checking KZbin and online and couldn't find an answer to hiking with a camera rig.

That's pretty much been my experience too so when I do find a solution you can be sure I'll be making a video about it..! Thanks again Anthony... g

Thanks so much John.. you really do 😂 !! all the best to you..g

Hey Robert.. thank you..! Exactly right..! I did expect any animal to come down the log rather than up as that was their direction when viewing previous trailcam footage.. even the trigger was positioned for that scenario which is why it triggered too late for the jackal.. BUT.. I should have foreseen that possibility and placed the flash and trigger more squarely as on this occasion both fox and jackal came up the log not down. Definitely don't keep shtum..! I value all your comments..! All the best to you.. g

Thanks so much Dave..! It’s the way of things with camera trapping.. half the fun is the set up and the anticipation.. something we lost when the world switched from film to digital so I’m happy enough with the little fox and there’s always the next time 😊 All the best to you.. g

Thank you again Bhupinder..! much appreciated 🙏

👍 most welcome..! 🙏

Thank you so much Bhupinder both for the comment and the "thanks".. very very generous of you..! Let me know if you need any info on Kerkini & the Pelis.. very best wishes, g

🙏🙏🙏

You are most welcome..! Thank you for taking the time to comment.! 🙏

Thank you so much..! Really appreciate you saying so. all the best to you, g

Hi Saki and thank you for taking the time to comment and for your question. In my experience it is better to turn off all stabilisation both in-camera and in-lens when shooting from a tripod or even if you are resting the camera on any kind of support like a bean-bag. Shooting handheld with a long lens is really difficult and even with all stabilisation turned on you have to shoot at over 120 fps to get any usable footage at all. Hope that helps.? Very best wishes to you. g

Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you liked it..! I haven’t had any problems to date with water ingress though when I build new ones I intend to seal off the end with a cheap uv filter which I think will be better than the bag option

Thank you so much.. much appreciate you taking the time to drop me a comment..! 🙏

Many thanks again for your comment.! All the best to you.. g

@GeorgeSBlonsky Thank you George, I really enjoy your videos, particularly the "°How to's" the BTS give a "real life" no frills experience.

I'm so glad and it is so gratifying to get your feedback. Thanks again and I will hopefully be a little more productive over the winter than I have managed to be over the last few months.! cheers, g

@@GeorgeSBlonsky look forward to it 🙏

Thank you Elizabeth..! 🙏

Probably when initially painted but after 4 years in the elements I think it’s most likely my own scent on the case and cameras that the animals can sense

​@@GeorgeSBlonskycan't wait to see what else you get. I wonder if there is a deodour / scent removal liquid. Or maybe just coating it in bacon fat will do.

@sinetwo 😂 you’d definitely get some animals coming in and probably get a nice bunch of licking shots.!

Hi Emilu and thank you for your comment. I do actually use both as and when the situation requires. One of the reasons I like the EVF is that it gives a 3rd point of body contact on the rig which helps add even more stability especially when panning and following an animal. The truth about the EVF in my case is that the one I own is not very good and often becomes more of a hindrance than a help. When my budget allows though, I will be investing in a better quality one... Atomos Ninja most likely. thanks again..! g

Thanks so much bud.. much appreciated..!

Thanks so much John..! All the best to you.. g

Thanks for letting me know Ray.. I’ll sort the links out this evening 🙏

Hi again Ray.. all links repaired.. hopefully they will work again now. Thanks again for letting me know.

Thank you so much Robert.. I am very lucky to be here..! Very best to you.. g

Hey Henrik.. thanks so much..! cheers g

Thanks so much John.. as always.! 🙏 ...I hope I get a little action in front of the camera too..! I'm just about to watch your one.. looks by the title you had some luck. 😃

Thanks for taking the time to comment Francis.. much appreciated. All the best to you. g

Thank you again Veronika.. I am happy you found them too and I'm glad you are enjoying them.! 😊

Hi Veronika.. I'm glad you found it helpful.. thank you for taking the time to comment..! 🙏

Thank you so much Peter..! I have no doubt you are right and I have to come up with a better formula/structure to the videos..! Many thanks again for taking the time to comment.. it is very appreciated.. g

@@GeorgeSBlonsky You are welcome 🙂

Thanks so much..!

You are most welcome Alex.. my thanks to you for your support..! 🙏

Thank you as always Alan..! Big yellow feet..! 😂 I’m hoping it cools down quick too.. enjoy the big screen..! 🙏
