    Lol well f*ck… “it’s not the gear that matters” is right! Can’t even afford half your gear 😂

    After you said you use your 7D as it turns your 500 mm to an 800.. I WAS DONE .

    Hi, John 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻 I am really enjoying your channel, amazing cinematic cinematography photographing and filming wildlife ⭐️ I just purchased a Canon 80D with the EF-S 18 – 135mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens creator kit. I am still learning about all the features of the camera. I love the outdoors and I have mostly have been taking pictures with my IPHONE 6S. Thanks for sharing your gear and awesome wildlife videos !!!! Danny

    Ok so those of us who aren't millionaires probably just carry a late model camera body and 2 lenses.

  10. Tami Christensen says

    I am just getting started. Bought a Nikon d5500 to get started. I don't know if I should stay with Nikon or invest in a Canon or Sony to upgrade. I cannot afford many different body/lenses. What "one" body and lens do you recommend?

  11. Andrew Gipson says

    Newbie here. What exactly do you mean by the 5D MIV providing "the best files"? Do you mean pixel count, file size, or something I'm missing?

  12. Mac McMillen says

    Fantastic. Looking forward to more in this series!

    Please, show those gears which you used in the initial days of wildlife photography. So that we can feel saved..

  26. Kieran Boyes says

    Great job as always!! Really helped me decide what to bring, and what to leave behind. Also, looking forward to the new book!

    Great video and great detail. love your Work. Can't wait to see more! 📷👍

  28. Roger Thompson says

    This was one of the best videos. Good camera work, he know what he's talking about in both his presentation and his gear.

  29. Andre Audet says

    Great video! Curious to find out which specific lens do you use your extenders with? Some people claim that using an extender with a zoom lens makes for softer images, while others say it's just fine. Thanks. Love the channel!

  30. Stephen DesRoches says

    What is the percentage of shooting out of your vehicle?

  31. Jeff Backcountry says

    Wow that was excellent! Thank you for sharing John 🤛🏻

  32. Ryan Sheehan says

    Love the video. Not sure if you’ve already done it but a look into what you have out in the field may help a lot of people. From what I saw there’s a lot of bags in there and I highly doubt you’re bringing all of them. Maybe a video idea for down the road 🤔

    Keep up the great work!

  33. RAJMAN181 says

    Man are you equipped or what!

  34. Christopher Wood says

    Hey! Have you ever used the Canon 200-400 with 1.4x for wildlife? Im saving up for it but wondering if it is worth the price tag.. I currently use a tamron 150-600 but hate the AF system on it.. I'm hoping the 200-400 would be much better, but trying to find someone that's had on location experience with it.

  35. Bruce Townley says
