I used nikon 3300d with 200-500mm lens for the closeup bird videos, landscape shots are filmed on smartphone. Although I won't recommend using 3300d body for making video clips, you can use a better body with good iso capibility. The 200-500 mm lens however is a good piece of glass..

best time would be feb-june. After march do expect some rain, I choose to visit in feb because at this time weather remains clear mostly. As these places are not that popular its less expensive. For a couple you can book homestays at 900/per day per person including food and stay. car rental charges are only costly thing, but there are sharing options too. you can contact Mr. Anupam Das(9836087652) a home stay owner. He has homestays both at lava and Rishop, you will get additional helps from him.

@soumyajitmistry2 жыл бұрын
I have been using d3300 with 200-500 mm for 4 to 5 yrs now, It was performing well, only recently I was facing an issue, that some times autofocus wont work at all. I extensively used the d3300 body for 6 yrs, and often carried my camera hanging from my neck using the camera strap. That caused the damage, the lens mount on the camera sometimes fail to work. The ideal way to carry would be to hold the lens collar while you are on field. You can try to clean the mount of your lens and camera with alcohol wipes/ wet wipes or get your camera checked by a professional.

Try to find joseph lepchatingbo or sandeep chackraborty on Facebook. They are local guides. Otherwise you can book trip with Rantu saha (siliguri) but this would be an expensive option as he is not local. I suggest you contact all of them and pick one that is suitable for you. However I didn't take any guide for lava, so no personal experience to recommend someone.
