I'm a Professional Sports Photographer in the winter and a wedding photographer in Berkshire in the summer. I have been published in UK newspapers and won awards from the Society's (the largest society of photographers in the UK)
I started Photography with a Minolta 7, transferred to Sony when they were bought out, and in 2011 I transitioned to the Nikon system.
I shoot on 2 D300s with a D7000 back up, all with battery grips.

Is it safe to carry around a tripod with a DSLR attached to the head? Its related as the op asks is it safe. You have more chance of damaging the equipment if the camera is not balanced on the tripod, this mount configuration will be very unbalanced and will be a lot easier to knock over, possibly ending in disaster. |

Is it safe to carry around a tripod with a DSLR attached to the head? If you want the lens to snap off the camera by all means keep doing it this way. If I were you (and this is the correct way) use the tripod ring on the lens to attach to the tripod. Otherwise if you were to hit something or knock it over the lens can snap off, thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-equipment-products/… |

What batteries are best suited to Battery grips? @AJFinch I think you are right, however I attend a few media events which are sponsored by a battery maker and get given quite a few non-rechargables. This is why I have come to believe that these last longer, however as you say they are an expensive option, and cant be managable without a free supply (which no doubt will end sometime soon) |

What camera & lens combination(s) are ideal for animal and bird photography? A crop sensor doesnt get you closer, it just crops the edges off of the frame. |
