Bought a gimal head for my sony A9/200-600 lens so this is my first shot with it...so much easier (once the gimal was properly balanced) than using a ball head...especially when pointing the huge lens up towards the moon...
I should have gotten this thing a few days ago when the moon was full...shot was taken from my backyard...not to shabby considering all of light around (street lights, my outside lights, etc)...I also need to look into the whole stacking thing at some point...
Here the one I bought:
Amazon.com : Neewer Professional Heavy Duty Metal 360 Degree Panoramic Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Standard 1/4'' Quick Release Plate and Bubble Level for Digital SLR Cameras up to 30lbs/13.6 kg : Camera & Photo
www.amazon.com
For my non-professional needs, it is exactly what I needed...
