[Leica] from under the net

[Doug Herr]

I use a different camera support for different situations.  For waiting quietly under the camo net I’m using a small very portable tripod near ground level (the camp chair places my butt a couple of inches off the ground) and an acratech long lens head.  For flight photos I use a big standing-height tripod with the same head, or with a sidekick added to the head.

The in-flight photos are here, beginning in November 2019:
