Amazing! How is the stabilization on the P900? Thanks!👌👍

Quite good actually. I would say better on the P900 than on the P1000. The P1000 takes some getting used too. 🙋♂️🇬🇧

Great vids high altitude...do you get yourself comfortable sat using the tripod ?,i know its a pain zooming and keeping your track of fast moving objects i must give it a go as im on the manchester ,europe from the states fly paths,...

There you have shown us again quite good shots. Last week in Berlin, the seemingly blue sky was so covered with some kind of layer that I couldn't even see the planes flying directly over my head with my eyes. However, my camera did capture some of them.

Very interesting. Magnificent camera control and the detailed information about most of the aircraft a bonus. I use my trusty hand held Zeiss West 10x50s to observe high level stuff and appreciate the difficulties of focus.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Focus is the main struggle, the camera’s doing a lot of work but once it locks on it’s ok, but there are times when it doesn’t lock on & the planes gone. 🙋♂️ I think the info is worthwhile doing, adds to the video I feel.

@@highaltitudeplanespotting2035 You're welcome. Credit where due. Some of the stuff overhead in my Gloucestershire area are seven and eight miles high plus. Twenty years ago, quad- con-trails were a common sight overhead. Not now, mostly the same twin jet platform, on the size being different. Freighter quad-jets more frequent overhead in the dead of night. Currently watching the air action over Trooping the Colour on TV. Love the sound of RR Merlins.

Hi! Are u using only the optical zoom? And for contrail spotter, nikon P900 is a good choice?
