Noticeably I didn't have the best light as it remained overcast, so I tried to get a fine balance to reproduce the best images. Mounted on the Gimbal, the best I could do with a lens this big with no stabilisation was to risk 1/320 or 1/400th at f5.6 (Wide Open) at 800iso. (I would usually shoot at at least 1/800th, matching the lenses focal length as a rule of thumb).
Sat on the bank of a nearby lake, I decided we could all get a nice day out whilst I tested the "Siggy" on the 1D. With our trusty old dog transporting Toyota we made camp! General photos on this blog will be taken with Samsung S4 mobile phone. As with the two below. Plus all images, including DSLR Images on this blog will always be Low Resolution.
Then I assembled the rig

As I said a little hampered with the light and a bit of shade from the trees I decided to shoot out into the lake where the light was better. But it still meant a slower shutter than I would of liked for stability and to stop any sudden movement of my subjects.
A few of the Greylags first:
