Here, Here, sound advice Chris has given here. I have been in the same position and still learning. Little is often enough, and I have been given some excellent advise here on TP. A nice shot Mike with a lead in from the curve of the waterway. Well done. :thumbs:

Hi Simon, I have the Lowepro Lens Trekker 600 and use it with my 1D + 500mm f/4. The Hood has to be detached but will take lens and body + 1.4 or 2x converter. Not much room for much else, has a nice adjustable collar for support of the lens inside. Not sure of the size of your set up with the...

Here, Here, Frank

I use a 'Walkstool', available in 3 different sizes to suit your height and weight. Comes complete with carrying bag and available from Warehouse Express or Amazon. Rather expensive but very robust and ideal for a person of my stature.
