Simon, I love your videos. I know you don't like talking about settings, and I understand the basics of fps, but you seem to move seemlessly between real-time and slow motion and I don't understand how (and Google doesn't help).

The Walkstool, was one of my best buys. Not cheap, but so much better than the cheap ones.

Is it a strong materiel looks like it could rip easily ?

Thanks for your review Simon. I was undecided as to what to purchase until i watched your review. So glad i did. I bought it and i'm amaized at the quality, versatility and value for money of this little gem. It's great for birding, wildlife, astronomy and just general fun viewing. Cant understand why more people aren't raving about it. I'll give my fellow Viking optic users a smug knowing nod next time I'm out. Keep up the good work 😊

Back ground music too loud can't hear what the narrator is saying. Where's the location of the show ?

As a birder myself..I never see minorities walking around with binoculars. This video clearly shows. Can someone explain me why?

I reckon that Tragopan guy should do his own KZbin channel! Sounds Welsh to me!

Great review! Perfect for photographers looking to enhance their shots effortlessly!

Beautiful filming and very inspirational for someone like me, looking to do more video rather than photography alone. 👏👏👏

Simon as a professional cameraman I am a little surprised you do you not think that you mention you cannot use a lens hood with this system as it clearly seems that it does not have the ability to add one. Also I really do not see why you would not use what nearly all cinematographers (other than the ones who think the cinematographers on KZbin) a matt box with slide in filters? Sorry to be so damming but as a director/cameraman for more years than I care to remember it grieves me why so many Chinese filter companies completely ignore lens hoods for filters when all they need to do is put a thread on them. The lack of a lens hood in sunlight definitely reduces contrast which to my mind is a bad thing. Sorry for the rant but but most of the lenses you have on display have lens hoods so why would you not want to use them.

Background music so annoying way too loud! Good video.

I am 75 years old and believe me I’ve had every jacket under the Sun but I must admit I bought the snug pack arrowhead jacket and it’s definitely my favourite.

Hi Simon, or actually I'm totally calling you Mando Mccabe now 😂 but anyway, great video, I've only just recently discovered both yourself and Simon Eardley and the whole Global birdfair so I'm definitely looking at going next year.

Great show, couldn’t get there this year… Sad thing is there’s not many younger people there, are they not interested🤔👍🇬🇧

Great video mate and was lovely to meet you on the Saturday 👌🏼

Sub-titles c. 24 mins read "GLOBAL BURNING" for global birding. Just sayin'.

7:23 Couldnt have said it better myself. Ive always thought this, and it has been a genuine struggle to remain positive while out in the field, but without a doubt my best work has been when I am calm, and grateful that I am able to see all these beautiful birds in action.

Simon it was lovely to have a catch up with you at the show 👍🏻 I’ll be in touch shortly about coming in The WildX podcast 👍🏻

Great video..wanted to visit but made my way to Saltee Island for the great puffins....hopefully next year to be there...:)

I watched it can’t say I found anything out. It made me feel a bit flat to be honest. The State of the art of being oculus capable of and identifying birds and mammals. Is that a good thing part of being a Birder is the enjoyment of the apprenticeship And finding out the hard way. You become a man that likes looking at birds without identification skills.

This was my first. Really loved it! Have been kicking myself for not attending it earlier. Do we know what are the dates of the 2025 one?

Doh! I saw you twice over the weekend, thought that chap looks familiar but could place you so I wimped out of saying hello! Would have if I realised who you were. TBF I was busy recording podcasts and generally running round seeing and chatting to people and doing fun stuff all weekend anyway! Will say hi next time!

Great video Simon it was our first time there, I seemed to end up buying a Sony A7IV and a Zeiss thermal monocular so next time it’s just a bag of chips , keep up the great work.

Birdwatching

I have two pairs of viking bins an 8x45bought from rspb conway long time ago and recently 10 x 42 vistron great binoculars

Nice one mate, well covered and a Top production as always! Great to see my mate Si Eardley there working with Tragopan. I must go one year, not keen on vast crowds but I’d love to see that tech! My wife would also go mad😝💪🏻👍

Fantastic video Simon. I was lucky enough to bring the wife along with me. Luckily for me at least she allowed me to purchase my 150-600mm lens for my Canon 90D camera! That optics/camera tent is truly deadly! Just gotta love Birdfair. Rutland…what a place to have it!

Love this Simon! great work! hopefully see you next year ;)! thank you for making me aware of it!

Yes allways a Plan B :)

Hi. I love your content. The composition, colours and commentary are fantastic. I am trying my hand at wildlife videography. Im looking to get an external monitor. I see you use the ninja v. The info on external monitors are a minefield…so my question is when recording 4k 100p does the monitor still display image for you? I dont want the ninja to record externally, recording will be done in camera, I just want to know will the image and functions still be displayed on the monitor while shooting 4k 100p. Thanks again 😊

When we getting new material ? Brilliant to watch .

Awesome video

thoroughly enjoyed this Simon, all the b roll is so well considered and everything just flows so nicely.

Respect brother

Brilliant!! 👏👏 really enjoyed the video 😁👍🏻

Just beautiful aren't they Simon & beautifully filmed as always mate 👌

Nice job! Did you have someone else photographing you or did you bring a second setup into the woods and then photograph yourself? How many days did you spend making this video?

I love the work you do, always absolutely stunning. It's only when you are filming and narrating a short piece like this do you get the true recognition you deserve.

Stunning work as always sir!

Reds are one of my favorite raptors. The epicentre of the Redkite population is mid wales. Since their introduction they have started to migrate across the UK. One of the success stories for British wildlife. A magnifisent bird. The 200/600 is a great peice of glass. I use it on my A1 and feel spoilt when I do find time to venture out. If you ever get the oppertunity to venture further north. Go check out the White tailed sea eagle on the isle of mull ;). That will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand proud.

Fantastic Simon, the red kite is my favourite raptor, I’m always on the hunt to photograph them, buzzards also 😊

Don't listen to the little one's opinion Simon, the video is amazing 👌 superb quality footage

WONDERFUL VIDEO OF such LOVELY sweet little SOULS ... thank you sir ! X. OCEAN SUPPLY VESSEL CAPTAIN P. van ESS. U S M M. OFFICER X. ALSO : U S. FAA. LIC.COMMERCIAL PILOT
