Canon 200 800 Review

[0.25 lb] This bag perfectly fits the Canon RF 200-800 mm lens

[ARRI PL Mount] The performance of this extender mated to my Canon® R5 and a Canon® 200 - 800 zoom really extends my reach when trying to capture wildlife pictures including active, small insects around 10' distant.

[10' / 3 m] Useable on the Canon RF 800.

[Neoprene] I bought this scope for digi-scoping the bluebirds that now occupy the first bluebird box I've ever put up. I had tried DSLR zoom lenses including a 200-800 lens. The lesser lens didn't get close enough and the 200-800 didn't focus clearly enough. I had intended to use the spotting scope with the DSLR but I've found that my iPhone with a phone mount on this scope works great. The attached photo was taken at about 18-20 zoom from about 75 feet. See how clear it is! It's so fun to watch the brooding female poke her head out of the box. I assume that's to cool down a bit and get a breath of fresh air. Photo was taken through window glass and not necessarily in the best lighting conditions. Videos taken with the iphone through the scope are just as good or better.

[Black] This is an amazing ballhead. I had been using a Kirk BH-3 but it was not sturdy enough for my Nikon D-800 with 70-200 f/2.8. This Sirui K-40x does the job smartly. After upgrading to a new Gitzo GT2542 tripod, an expensive BH-55 was not in the budget. No matter, I think this Sirui is just fine. You can hang a cow of of this thing! I discovered this ballhead on dpreview.com, they did a comparison of the big ballheads and rated this one higher than the RRS. You can't go wrong with this one. I'm going to get a smaller Sirui for hiking.

[1/2" Bayonet] Have only had the opportunity to use it once but it turned my EF 100-400 into a 200-800. Loved the outcome even if it did drop me down to f11 on my Eos R6. Great!!!!

[Canon White] This foot is a great addition to my new RF 200-800 lens. I work so will with my Wimberley monopod head. It fits perfectly and is low profile, which I love.

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] I use my Nikon 800 lens almost exclusively. I have a 70 - 200 and a Nikon 200-500. All three are great but the Z9 with the 800 were game changers. Ok now to the Oben BE-126 Ball head window mount. It is really well made. My 800 fits on it very easily. I have always had a little trouble with a ball head but could work with it very nicely. If you are using a smaller lens, this is made for you. Oh yes, B&H are super great to work with. AJD

[Nikon i-TTL] This is a complete Kit with the SU-800 controller, two SB-200 flashes and every conceivable add-on any photographer might find useful all in a nice case with dividers for each of the items and room for a third SB-200 flash (recommended). This system is fully compatible with TTL D series Nikons up from the D-80 and with the Nikon F6 film camera and all Nikon TTL capable Flash Units. As the subject to flash distance is usually minimal, the result is fine modeling combined with excellent detail rendering.

[1 oz / 28 g] I'm using these tripod heads mounted to Impact Super Clamps with two Canon HFR 800 camcorders on top (all from B&H). The pan tilt action is smooth and although these are made of plastic I'm sure we'll get many years of use in this particular application.
