Another 2 minute video, this time with 1.4x

Friday, I added a 1.4x convertor to the 150-400 Pro lens with the 1.25x internal convertor engaged and tried the insects again.  Less wind, but not perfectly calm, but still missed focus a few times.  This combination at 700 mm (1400mm FF FOV)  is my limit using a monopod, especially if there is any wind.  But the results look good to me for 1080p.

I've never had this minimum subject distance available to me before, especially for video, so I am very happy with the gear, I just need a lot of practice.
