Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it! I've barely done any filming and wouldn't know what type of stabilizer will work on a hike without being too heavy or too fiddly. That being said, my thought process is kinda like this: 1) I already have a camera which I love and wouldn't want to...

Don't worry, I'll definitely do my fair share of practice before heading out on a longer hike (which will be in July-September). But as I'm pretty sure I'll need some sort of stabilizer to do this, and it is going to cost me a bit, I wanted to know my options and figure out how much money to set...

Just to clarify: I wasn't talking of making the typical youtube hiking video; the ones with a camera on a selfie stick filming most of the trip. It's hard explain, I guess. But I want to film short clips of the scenery, not myself or some endless hiking video. So my main question would be how to...

I'll definitely try to use my trekking pole as a monopod :)

I've been debating this for a while now, and still haven't come up with a good solution (or compromise) for my problem. These last couple of years I've been spending more and more time hiking, and have usually only taken stills. This year I really want to film some short sequences while hiking...

Thanks for all your input! There is a reason why you shouldn't buy the most expensive equipment right away, nothing will ever measure up after ;) But to be serious, I might be able to live without F1.2, barely, but there is just something special with the bokeh of the 85L. Maybe I'm the weird...

Hey! I have a quick question about the Canon 85 mm 1.8 and 1.2. I used to own the 1.2L and used it for everything, rarely took it off, but I made the mistake of selling it. I am now considering saving up for it, but as it's so expensive I am also considering the 1.8. When I had the 1.2L I used...

Panorama taken at a small peak called "Torshammaren", "Thor's hammer" in English. Panorama of my home town, Arendal

In late August I took a short trip to Jotunheimen, Norway. Since I had to walk with a heavy pack, I decided to only bring my Sigma 35mm Art. All photos are here. Here's a few (taken off facebook so the quality might be a bit lower than the original): This is the view of Gjende taken from...

Hi, I've been thinking about getting a Black Rapid Backpack Strap (though I already have Sport) for my next hiking trip. But I recently came over the Peak Design Camera Clip, and wondered id that would be a better solution for carrying (I would still bring the BR Sport). My concern would be the...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike Q1: Is a 40 mm ball head good for my Canon 70-200 F4L IS? Or should it be bigger? I have no plans of getting anything heavier than the Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS II. Q2: Any experiences with PhotoClam ball heads? Q3: I've heard good things about RRS ball heads, but...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike I've been checking some prices on renting a 16-35 (F2.8L II) and for 5 days it will cost me 2/3 of a used 17-40, so that solves that dilemma. I'm usually a minimalist (or far as one can be when having a 5D3) when it comes to my photography gear. 90% of the time...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike Just to sum up: [list type=decimal] Tripod: Any suggestion below 500 usd? Lens: Upon reviewing by budget I know I can't afford the 16-35, but a used 17-40 might do. Filter: CP + adapter. Tripod mount for the 70-200 if cheap Total of 3 batteries and 3 16 GB memory...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike Ah, thanks! I didn't know that :)

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike I'm from Norway, and living there, so I'll be traveling by buss to Jotunheimen (Gjende or Bygdin) then hiking from there (3-5 days) and tenting. I can't be lugging along too heavy equipment, but the size doesn't matter as long as it's not heavy. I might be able to...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike Good idea! I've have sold and bought a lot of equipment the last few years, but for a long period the only lens I used was the 85L. I'm hoping that Sigma might design a 85mm F1.4 Art :P I've never liked wide angles, mostly because I suck at composing with them...

Re: Lenses for a 3-5 day hike Thanks for the reply. I might go for the 17-40 instead to save some money, but I am wondering if a fisheye could be cool instead (?). I'm not good with wide angle lenses, I find it hard to compose with it, but I am afraid that I might miss one on that kind of trips.

Hi, I am planing on taking a trip to Jotunheimen, Norway in August, might be going alone too, and I am considering what gear to bring/buy. I have: Canon 5D Mark III with a Black Rapid Strap Sigma 35mm Art Canon 70-200 F4L IS NiftyFifty Extra memory card and battery (1 extra?) + a tripod...

The 5D2 takes 1 CF card

I am totally blank on this subject! I might get to shoot a birthday in June and some have been wondering if it is possible to "stream" photos directly on to the projector/pc? To clarify, I want to: Show photos as I take them directly on to the projector/pc, wireless? Any solutions for this...
