Great video Simon that mono pod looks pretty good i like the idea of being able to get down low with it,weather or not i can get back up is a different matter lol 👍📸

[@brownie3609]

A beautiful moment Simon when the deer faces towards you. Thanks for sharing👍👍

[@colintraveller]

That's because the doe could smell him .. even with all that camo gear on . When stalking deer .. always be down wind of them

[@alanarmer8069]

[@simoneardley]

Great piece of kit Kevin 👍🏼

[@paulbaldwin2290]

Spectacular footage really professional should be proud of this Simon credit to you 👏👏👏 good information to 👍were you filming in slow motion? Great your back on mend mate👌

[@EvigPoesi]

Amazing footage. I see roe deer every week where I live but now I got some ideas :)

[@simoneardley]

Go for it!

[@raytaylor3090]

Great stuff Simon. The mono pod looks cool, something else to add to the gear.

[@simoneardley]

Its great for stalking in the woods, a real alternative to a tripod 👌🏼

[@allanmorris1438]

Simon, Thank you for the review on that Monopod, I just snagged myself one and it is an outstanding bit of kit to be fair, I wish more camera support companies such as Manfrotto etc would adapt their various heads over to a quick release type system such as the one on the iFootage Cobra, that foot pedal is a very nice touch and solid. The ability to attach another Monopod into the system is a very cool feature also. A modular tripod system such as the 3 legged thing is definitely the way to go, with integrating different tripod foot designs such as their stilletto, rock shoes etc. Keep up the good work mate. Allan

[@simoneardley]

Nice one Allan, glad the review helped. I use mine a lot, its a really great addition to the kit room 👍🏼

[@markfuller4506]

Nice video as usual. Bought the Tragopan ghillie lens sleeve with your discount code recently… brill design with hole for monopod. Fooled several roe recently into posing nicely for their photo.

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

Ey up Simon👍 Really enjoying your channel .... I have been taking some of your advise as i get back into a more serious approach to my wildlife spotting..... not had much luck yet but as you say its all a great day out in the fresh air..... This was a brilliant video as per...👍👍👍

[@simoneardley]

Thanks Robert, good luck with your spotting👀👍🏼

[@stefangoldensteinwildlife9929]

very nice Informations and footage. Well done. Greets Stefan

[@pathogan4854]

Top work make great piece of kit but it's only as good as the person holding it some beautiful images

[@simoneardley]

Yeh true Pat👍🏼

[@waldzauber5074]

Hello Simon . Nice to see you back in the wild and hope you feel better after your roof crash . 🤕 Nice Monopod you have there . Most using tripod here . But anyway is see you have also there in your area strong roe deers and capital bucks 😳 . Interesting to make comparisons that there are big differences from one area to another , for example here in my country also. Huuuu the Z9 and the 500 mm is a huge equipment but good stuff . I prefer smaller systems 😬 . Using the G-9 or G91 with 100 - 400 mm or in night the 40 - 150 mm f/2.8 with a TC 1.4 on it. Night photography of roe deers with red light is a candy for me - you tried it also ever before ? Spring & summer equipment for wildlife here is a " small " set of 4 Fujifilm cameras with max. 70 - 300 mm with TC 1.4 also . One question at last simon : How many FPS can this Z9 films ...same like my X-H1 in 120 FPS ? Best greetings : Harald ( Wald Zauber )

[@Kenbur]

great vid Simon. does it seem to you like it does to me or maybe I'm imagining it - that no matter how "hidden" you are, the direction of the wind, the masking of scent, etc. they still seem somehow to know you are there. in the Whitetail and Mule deer, I'm familiar with and have hunted/photographed, they "don't know for absolute sure" (otherwise they'd already be gone) but they seem to know something is not quite right, it's so uncanny. I've watched other hunters walk by me within 5 to 10 feet and did not have a clue that I was there and could touch them if I wanted to. Only one time was I able to walk up on a young doe and touch her(1 out of hundreds I have observed over the many years). That was thrilling for me, but I thought for a moment she was going to die from a heart attack based on her reaction. But it was such perfect conditions that I had to try. atb

[@Gazzab6]

What a great video Simon. The Deer never miss a trick do they, but your excellent fieldcraft ensured you got your shots. You make a very good point about avoiding the loose branches on the ground as standing on one is end ex isn’t it. I’m really bad at avoiding them at times due to my dodgy knees. I have trouble putting weight on my knees when the ground is uneven and it affects my balance. The ifootage monopod looks so versatile, they really are amazing innovators aren’t they (as you are may I add with the use of the homemade sling - great idea).

[@simoneardley]

Youre right Gazza, they are always seeking to improve their products. The Cobra 3 is a big improvement on the last one, love the pedal feature. 👍🏼📷

[@Gazzab6]

@@simoneardley I must admit I was amazed by the features of the product as you were going through it, it was one innovation after another. The pedal feature is genius and ifootage seem to be in touch with ‘in the field photographers’ by adding features that make it easier to use in the field when carrying big lenses - being able to adjust the product as quick as you demonstrated could be the difference of getting the shot or not, or even avoiding making unnecessary noises while faffing about trying to adapt it to the scenario like with other products. Even the head of choice, in your case the video head could be removed easily and in an instant.

[@johnchecketts1732]

Evening Simon mate brilliant video nice to see you out again after your accident on the ladder hopefully your feeling much better now take care of yourself mate

[@RichardBirchett]

Nice one Si, looks like a great bit of kit the Cobra 3 and so versatile, might look in to one of those! The carrying handle from EC also looks like a great bit of kit, especially for Otters on the shore line! Nice video with some nice video and stills. Top work as always. Rich👍

[@simoneardley]

Thanks Rich, the Cobra 3 is great for low level video work.Thanks for watching pal 👊🏼

[@paulpugh6178]

Superb Simon but I am sure that, like me, you would just wish that these manufacturers would use a matt bottle green instead of shiny red !! It does look like a great piece of kit though… particularly like the low option. Looking forward to a great new season of footage from you. Best wishes from Belgium

[@simoneardley]

I agree Paul, ive spoken to Ifootage to suggest a special edition. Lets see what happens!!

[@paulpugh6178]

@@simoneardley let me know if they do one I will buy 👍

Yet another first class vid Simon. A short video packed with tips and info , straight to the point. .. were other would stretch to an hour. Many thanks , Ted.

Cheers Ted👍🏼

[@glennhunt3595]

That's the way to do it - no nonsense straight to the point clear review on a product then out into the field to produce the goods, they do it right up north ! 😀 Great stills and footage there Simon.

[@simoneardley]

Thanks Glenn, best kind of review, show it. Use it. Job done !!

@@simoneardley Thank you. I have ordered one tonight. Regards, Terry Laws.

[@colintraveller]

As someone that also has been capturing deer .. Lesser of your movement lesser the chance of them doing a bolter .. Roe Deer are very easily spooked . And they will also bolt at the sight of other males on occasion I ethier sit on a wall with hardly little movement or behind the wall .. .. one even sat down within 20ft of me and if you can mimic there call they will stop and look right at you thus giving you more chance for shots . As they are always frequent at a field i walk past .. and on occasion will head into the field get them in thick brush looking down on them ,, last time i was out i bagged 3 most was 6 one night .

[@simoneardley]

Yeh, graet advice Colin. They can be a real test of your skills. Thanks for watching mate 👀👊🏼
