| Re: gigrin farm
I decided to go for the Trekker 2. Ordered it yesterday, with a bunch of other stuff, from Warehouse Express.
I had read that there's a knack to using one, so thought I'd have a play first. I tried the one at Jacobs, albeit with no camera attached, and I think I'll cope with it. This type of tripod will probably be easier in a hide than the standard type. I have no end of trouble with my Manfrotto sometimes, especially if the hide is busy. Monopod is better.
I'll need a donkey at this rate to carry all the gear.
Regarding Gigrin, there is a viewing point, as John says, before you get to the hides. We missed that when we were there, but it's definitely something we'll look at if we go again.
