You would use one of Really Right Stuffs L camera mount brackets. They also make panning quick release clamps that allow you to change the angle on how you clamp into the tripod. Hoped this helped. It need be, I can link some products based on what you are using
@@Bensviewfinder I have the L bracket and almost every bracket they sell but none of them allow me to fit the camera in portrait orientation while keeping the camera facing forward because if you look at an l bracket it runs at a 90 degree angle from the lens instead of parallel with the lens. Because of this the only way I have found to mount in portrait is to remove the bottom piece that attaches to the swinging arm portion and mount the camera sideways to that remaining swinging arm. The issue that creates is that now I can balance the camera by moving it forward and backwards like I could with that bottom piece attached (and a rail attached to that). I might reach out to a rep and see what I'm doing wrong because I've owned this equipment for 2 years and still never figured it out. II don't run into that problem when mounting the lens to the base which is what I do mostly anyway, butI would like to mount my medium format with short lenses for landscape and so I need to solve this.
@@Bensviewfinder I actually just went to their website and if you look at the photo they have next to the PG-02 you can see what I am trying to achieve. Notice that the rail and the L bracket of the camera create a 90 degree X. Don't know how to achieve that because all the fitting only run parallel to each other.
@@Bensviewfinder Looks like I needed this item SLIDING LEVER RELEASE CLAMP | B2-FAS. I bought a knockoff version for 1/8th the price of the RRS one. If it can handle my tests will keep it. Crazy how many brackets I got with mine and still needed to buy more.
Allein der Objektivkoffer ist stabil und groß wie ein Kindersarg. Da werde ich mir für mein Rad einen eigenen Anhänger zulegen müßten, muß aber erst mein Haus verkaufen dafür ☹️🤔
I ordered one today for a sigma 14-24 - like i now have a uv for protection is worth it alone- luckily the sigma take rear nd filters, but i did order the 145mm cpl, i feel your pain cha ching…. Be interesting to know how it worked for for you years later-
www.reallyrightstuff.com/fg-02 This is it. But it appears they are making a newer version of it now. You may want to contact @ReallyRightStuff and see if they can give you a time frame on when the new ones will be available. Goodluck.
Ben thanks for this. It’s a stunning lens indeed. Can you please share your thoughts if you have used 800mm lens with Z7II combo or any Z series camera ?
Thanks for the video. It would probably be helpful to include information on how many stops of light the filter cuts, either in the description or as a card on top of the video. And since it's variable, it would be cool to see the same scene with all the options from the lowest to highest stop. I know this is a few years ago, and you may have implemented these suggestions, but just in case... in loud situations like this, you might find it beneficial to record your voiceover later in a quiet environment while watching the video. If you want, you could layer the audio of the waterfall as a quiet background sound. Also, instead of relying on your viewfinder, use the magic of video editing to show your result as either a picture-in-picture image on the video, or temporarily replace the video with a few seconds of the still. I know you added it to the end, but it's a bit more of a smooth transition to just show it rather than say look for it at the end.
what a fantastic presentation... you explained the parts, the functions, and demonstrated its use. Outstanding informational video, Ben. Thanks for a job well done.
Sorry but before paying 14,000 $ for that and get difficulty taking simple pictures at 50 feet’s , I prefer my Nikon P1000 that i paid 1200 $ Canadian and I can take your difficult picture at 2 feet or 2000 feet...
@@nickreid5939 yes sure , look on RU-vid, you can also take pictures of Saturn and you see clearly the rings and some of his moons when you take the picture at the right time .
