camo beanbag support

[ikenny]

hiya Im looking at picking up a beanbag support ..I have been up on kinderscout today photographing the hares in thier winter coats .....well trying to...
I am after some advice on where to get one from and what size you think works best for you ./ me.
I was using the 1ds mk111 with the canon 100-400 L IS today and am not happy resting it on the stones..

I've got one of the double beanbags (C14.3) from Wildlife Watching Supplies, can't fault it. Got the liners too, so you can easily use different fillers, though I pretty much always use polystyrene beads, which makes it very light for packing into the hills. A biggish lens warrants a double bag I think and it's easier when sitting it on a car door/window etc.

Catch any hares then, afternoon weather was good today? Been meaning to go and stalk them myself this winter...

I'm confident you'll get on well with it kenny.

I ordered from here and got a double and a single for £21. Both arrived, very overstuffed but great value for money
