Hello again,
for those of you who have been on a safari in East Africa, would you recommend a bean bag for a MFT camera (and PL 100-400)? If so, which one would you recommend (with weight being an issue, even if it would be empty on the way to)?
Thank you in advance for all your valuable help.
I only shoot UK wildlife - and the light is normally quite poor - but having used the PL100-400 for 2 years now, no longer even use a monopod, but a cheap lightweight monopod can be of benefit if you can't rest or brace yourself against something. I am not sure how a bean bag would be of help.
How do you anticipate using the bean bag?
It would be used against the window of the jeep or other post or support on the jeep.
You can always use a jacket or a towel in a pinch. Even some laundry in a pillow case will do. My point is there is little need to pack something extra
thanks Albert for your advice.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
