Quote from: RiverRoost on March 13, 2017, 03:26:37 PMHow would you recommend setting the tripod up? I'm interested in getting a small camera too. Set it up just behind/to the side of you looking at the decoys?

For this I set camera for where I expect to kill (in timber) and go from there. If open timber the camera will keep on "subject" bird till he's dead. Fields/edges are non issue...MK M GOBL
Quote from: Captain Hooks on March 13, 2017, 10:53:41 PMIf you have the camera get a good tripod and fluidhead w/ a lanc thumb control. If you right handed always set it to you right close enough to your right side that you don't have to move much. Typically the camera is shoulder height. Using a decoy will help on videoing the birds. Just remember slow movement will keep you out of trouble. Pan out enough that you can get the shot even if the bird moves some. Hope that helpsGood luck

It's already tough enough to man the camera and the shotgun at the same time. Having to focus the camera too will make it even harder. I have manual focus on my main camcorder but only use it about 10% of the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
