I have been working on my birds in flight techniques and strategies to try to mitigate this limitation. I think I have now gotten to point where I can make fairly satisfying and interesting wildlife videos with lots of action included without the benefits of autofocus tracking and I'll probably continue this way for a while yet.

Best,

With the D500, my videos so far, have been of perched birds (using manual focus)  - mostly because of the reasons you mention. Having seen your work, I am encouraged to try BIF.  What autofocus mode did you use for this video ? Any other tips or pointers you can share?
