Where can find more details about video shooting in A1 ?The part he left out is that for video, on the A1, the apsc crop mode is actually higher quality than full frame (at least at 4K/30 and 4K/60p) so you can actually easily make the lens into a 300-900mm and improve image quality. Unless I need 200mm, I shoot in crop mode on the A1. Now I wouldn’t dare try and handhold video at 900mm.

Handheld Sony wildlife photography is best done slowed down. Stabilization isn't great if publishing in real time. Last weekend I started to try out handheld video with the A1. Used some 4K120 and some S&Q at 2.5x and 5x slowdown. Seemed to work fairly well. I just can't bring myself to take the time to edit it or produce something useful at this point. Maybe I'll get more into it in the future. I used the 600GM handheld and was just shooting gulls flying around.
I’ve shot some stuff with the A1 (not really my thing) but shot in 8k then stablized in post, knowing I had the room to stabilize before outputting 4k. I find the in camera stabilization isn’t the best (one thing that i was spoiled with in m43 land).
This short clip of a snowy was really unstable before I did it in post. While I was actually on a tripod it was with a 600mm plus 2x tc and the winds were 20-30 mph. The lens was like a sail and I still had to hold down everything while shooting or the camera was all over the place.
I am using the Sigma 150-600mm Sport F mount with my Z9. Works great.I wish I had a lens like the SONY 200-600. While I am very happy with my Z9 I wish Nikon offered a 200-600 in the near term. I am hoping Sigma introduces a similar lens for Nikon soon.
That's what I am using - excellent results - very heavy - very long - especially in a kayakI am using the Sigma 150-600mm Sport F mount with my Z9. Works great.
