Great tips and products that make your life easier & more enjoyable in the field.
Tamrac Camera Bags
You won't find a more durable, better designed selection of camera bags.
For my wildlife tours I use the 5588 Expedition series, this pack will hold all my super telephoto lens with camera body attached. On my landscape tours I prefer the Velosity 5X waist pack. When I have reached the shooting location, I just swing the pack around to the front of me and I have a little work bench to change filters and lens safely.
Manfrotto Tripods & Monopods
Plenty of thought has gone into designing these supports. I have found Manfrotto's collar locks to be the best thing for mud, snow or sand.
Sigma Lenses
If you only have one camera body, than a zoom lens is the best choice. If a Loon is 200 ft from you and a second later he's beside the boat. Or if a Bull Moose steps out in front of you, then walks out into a marsh 500ft away the only lens that is versitile enough to capture all of this is a zoom lens like the 150mm - 500mm Sigma with optical stabilization or the one I have been using for years, the 50mm - 500mm Sigma.
Storm Jacket
You will need a garbage bag to protect you camera bag and its contents from rain. To protect your camera from the rain you should bring a couple, because branches or running 30mph in my boat can tear them apart. A better solution is a Storm Jacket. It will protect your camera from scratches and the weather.
Bushnell Outdoor Products
A pair of binoculars can be handy for identifiying birds or locating moose on the lake. Bushnell makes high quality binoculars & spotting scopes.
Bass Pro Shops
Best selection & price for rugged outdoor clothing, footwear, binoculars and portable blinds.
