Hi all, My husband and I have been bitten by the wildlife bug bigtime, (thanks Steve and Cade's Cove, lol!) but we are essentially beginners. We have a Nikon Z8 camera, Nikkor 70-200 lens and Sigma 150-600 lens. Right now, I am just working toward autofocus, tracking and getting sharp images. It is coming, but slowly. We purchased a Leofoto LS-365CEX +PG-1 Gimbal Head tripod and have balanced the lenses on it. I feel like there is a little bit of shake when I take photos and my question has to do with technique. Is there a technique to how you interact with the camera and Gimble head to get tack sharp images? Mine still seem a little blurry and I am thinking it is camera shake. I don't see how there is anyway to keep the gimble completely still if it is not locked down? I hope this makes sense! Beyond that, I am questioning the gimble head that I have. Thanks!
