Photo above is how I do a video or photo(as shown) remotely using a camera or camcorder
Equipment I use
Moman tripod base with Sirui SL-200 bar which extends
mounted above is the head of a Manfrotto befree tripod head
not used in above photo the wired remote (for camcorder)
used a wireless remote transmitter/receiver which is is a Pixel Oppilas shutter release. (have to use a 2.5mm 4pole t0 3pole end cable with this camera)
Camera Panasonic G9 with a 100-300mm lens
taken through a closed window watched with a monitor.
so after baiting the area it was sit and wait until
when it warms ujp a bit will try through open window and set it up a bit better. this was just a tryout. Now for this normally I would use my camcorder
