It’s a snowy day here in Colorado, which puts a damper on my plans to visit our studio and test more lenses in the lab. (I do, however, have the Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 and both teleconverters in hand for testing once the roads clear.) Instead, I’ve spent the day developing film.

Photography companies can remind me a bit of cicadas. You wait for ages and ages, and there’s no sign of them. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, everything is announced at once. Well, the last few weeks, a lot happened – whereas this week, it was eerily quiet. But like the cicada, the next wave of significant photo news could be just around the corner.

I tend to think of a tripod as a necessary evil. Even with today’s image stabilization, a tripod is still a requirement in many cases, so it’s important to find one with the right balance of characteristics. What does that include? Small size, sufficient height, good vibration absorption, high durability, easy handling, and light weight. However, these features often conflict with each other! In this review, I’ll look at how the Peak Design Travel Tripod (especially the carbon fiber model that I use) balances them.

Most who visit the lowland tropical forest for the first time will be surprised to find that, despite popular documentaries, it appears rather empty. You can walk for hours in the green gloom and not find a single big animal. It makes it all the more rewarding when an encounter finally occurs.
