Yes it certainly will. It'd be a fantastic fit!

Hey mate, thanks! The gimbal head is a Benro carbon fibre Gh5c gimbal head

@@prokremelskidezolati1426 thanks for watching and leaving a comment though

They’re one of the greats. Very hard to dislike them

😆.. I did have to edit out a lot of the “old man sounds” getting up and down to be fair

Instead of peeping in the view finder you could have used LCD and touch screen feature for shooting birds. Thank you

@@gopalbarkur3917 I sometimes do that, but unless I have my glasses on, I can't really tell if I'm getting the subject in focus or not.

@ that’s true. Sometimes the sun glare can make it hard to see the screen though

@@Blinsaff Yeah, a bit like flying a drone without a sun shield.

I think the tripod collar is a bit too far back on the lens body. if it was forward just a tad it wouldn't wiggle as much

yeah it is a bit pricey

honestly it's a decent macro lens in itself, but yes you can do reversed macro with this. You just need a reverse lens ring with a filter size of 58mm

@@bravelyHomoSapien yes! Like the magpie their call just sounds “Australian”.

@@rickyn4710 that awesome, love the dedication! The babies in this video didn’t survive, most were taken by house cats..

​@@Blinsaffyeah I saw in another comment you said they didn't survive. Very sad. Many plovers never breed successfully, so imagine if they didn't try to defend their young so vigorously, they would be extinct. Luckily Iive next to a nature reserve so cats are not allowed here. Still, the native ravens and the imported pests like Indian mynas and foxes are enough to kill most of them. Just to stop the foxes some times I'm up 2-3 times every night spotlighting them, which is anywhere from 11pm to 5am. Not great for work but such is my love for these amazing parents.

​@@Blinsaffthat is so sad. 😢 Many plovers never breed successfully so imagine if they weren't so protective, they would go extinct. Luckily I live next to a nature reserve so cats aren't allowed. But there are enough risks anyways. I'm often up 2-3 times a night in breeding season to spotlight foxes, which isn't ideal for work but such is my admiration for these amazing parents. There are another pair of plovers down the road and unfortunately a fox got one of the parents while the other was incubating eggs. Thank God somehow that single parent had another single plover come and help it! They are still incubating now but they don't have much chance as they live right next to where the foxes eat all their prey.

@@rickyn4710 is there any way to set traps? (Humanly of course). Plovers will always find a way to survive though. They’re an extremely hardy bird. I’ve seen a pair nest on a roundabout next to a freeway off ramp! I hope your plovers make it through the breeding season 🙂

​@@Blinsaffunfortunately not. I've asked the local government and they said they don't actively trap foxes and I can't unless I have a commercial license. The plovers at the front of my house have already had their kids taken this spring. The single parent up the road (deep in fox territory) and it's helper are the only hope for the ones around here now.

@@markodell5466 nice! I think subjects being closer helps a lot with this auto focus. Sigma 150-600 is a beauty! Let me know how you go 👍

@@philclint good hear. When the stars align and those images are in focus the quality of the S5 never failed to disappoint me

@@Blinsaff by the way the best I can get with a teleconverter is f9 and that means you need good light. SO I'm not convinced that its the best way. Its just the 600mm is heavy and that might put me off carting it around and might not get the use of it. We'll see...

@@jondemetrius yes! I think the tripod collar is a bit too far back

Yes, both the Velo softbox and Cygnustech diffusers should fit

Your flash is a lot better then theese in this video, particularly in multiplecsequences of shos that are very important in macro photography

@@Brokeboitoy they have a knack for doing that

Thank you, they're the best birds! 😀

@@Democratiser no, Bruny Island

@@Blinsaff nice work.

It is a Benro Gh5C carbon fibre gimbal head attached to a Naturescapes SKM-II Skimmer Ground Pod II. It’s like a plastic frying pan with a screw on the bottom.

@@mjbarenyi Thanks for watching! 🙂

excellent! nice search 😄

@@rahulsinghnehra2227 yes! It works for both RF and EF Canon mounts 👍

@@allymolly5501 wow, you’re so lucky to see them raise families year after year. I’m very jealous! haha

@@sammartin6973 thanks! I have more lined up, they just take ages to do! 😖

that's true. also dogs they aren't a fan of

Well, I'm not that big of an expert on focus stacking (since I don't use it that often), but I just did a test with my Godox and Nikon speedlights. Both worked, but I had to set the interval to 1 second. On 0 seconds the flash didn't fire. Kind of defeats the purpose of it at 1 second interval, especially when shooting insects to be honest. I think this may be a firmware update fix, unfortunately :(

mine too :)

maybe they considered you not a threat? that's the greatest of compliment! 😉 they're lovely birds.

@@ianmontgomery7534 haha very true

This lens will be perfect for you 🙏 thanks for watching!
