Post by RyanS » Thu Feb 09, 2017 7:59 pm

One of the most frequent questions that I get is what gear do I use. Here's what I've got right now:

Canon 7D
Canon 70D
Canon 100-400 II
Canon 15-85

Sony AX-53 camcorder
Panasonic TM-900 camcorder

What do you use?

I will use the local lens rental company occasionally to grab a 300 or 400 prime depending on the show too!

7D MKII
50D
40D

100-400mm MKI
70-200mm 2.8 MKII
50mm 1.4

Definitely a fan of the lens rental places. Have used them a few times for video equipment and some random camera equipment.
Great way to test out a piece before you drop the coin.

I use LensRentals.com and I rented the new Nikon 200-500 last year for the airshows I went to. I also rented the D500 last year and will probably buy one later on this year.

Hi all. My name is Larry & I shoot a lot of radio control events in the Ottawa Ontario area & what few full scale events I can get to. I've gone through a bit of gear finding what works best for my less than main stream use. I've learned that you can get by with some very basic gear but you need to learn what the limitations are when you don't have a long lens option. My current set up that gets used at pretty much every event is
Canon 1D Mk 4 with a Sigma 150-600 C plus a Canon 7D Mk2 with a Canon 28-300 L IS. Late last season I reversed the body & lens combos with great results & will start this season that way.
I also use a Canon 1Ds Mk 2 for static photos with either a Sigma 12-24 or Canon 16-35 L IS f4 lens. At major events that body sometimes gets either a Canon 100-400 L IS (ver 1) lens or Canon 300 f2.8 L IS
Other gear available when needed is a Canon 24-105 L IS & the older 35-350 L which is still a very useful flight line lens.
