Hi All
Has anyone been to South Africa photographing birds and animals on
safari?I was wondering what sort of support if any is practical such as A
monopod or beanbag when in A safari vehicle.

I've done safaris in Kenya and I just went hand held.
I'll be doing the same in South Africa in November.

Spent several months in total in African gameparks and, like Chris, have always gone handhold - that said, a beanbag would not be a hindrance and could easily come in habdy. If you're hiring a safari vehicle on your own, what about a window mount - I fing this quite a handy little thing!

What sort of lens were you using? I'm going safari in October and I'm strongly drawn to a lens with Image Stabilisation for those full-zoom shots.
