RE: American Widgeons in flight and landing at sea
Fluid pan head... so you're shooting off a tripod? I guess you have to in order to keep it smooth.... see, I know nothing about video. I do everything pretty much handheld, so I would need a full steadycam rig to do video! :)
Yes this was shot with tripod supported by sandstone and seaweed :) Steadycam is on the wishlist ;) and the drone!
Handheld is often actually easier for tracking something (ironically), but the second that that something stops moving, then the shaky hand syndrome kicks in :) Overall, the tripod is best for realizing a higher definition though.
I love doing birds in flight (should probably post some soon) and I could only follow a bird handheld.
I've always found it weird that my handheld video, while in motion, seems pretty steady, but trying to hold it still on a stationary subject is shaky.
I look forward to your in flight shots :) That bald eagle was amazing!
