I think they are Autumn Crocus in the garden of the villa in this evening's last sunlight. We are having some good weather down here in Savagnac S France but sadly very few birds so far and not near enough for photos, I have got the 100-400mm lens and x1.4 with me.

Yes, let us see what happens then, `tho what I do like about our little forum , is that we do not have any experts here...as compared to other fora.....so refreshing.

Seeing the last image with the large numbers of exposures, it made me remember how good digital photography is compared to film. So many shots for ‘free’.
Yes, imagine a film SLR being able to do 30 fps, you would shoot for one 1 second and then have to insert a new film roll 
That said, I had to buy a new CFexpress card to match the writespeed of the Z8. Benefit is you can shoot jpg at 30 fps without hitting the buffer limit, that is, you can keep shooting as long you can hold the camera.
If you prefer raw then it can keep going up to 12 fps - if you start with 20 fps then it shoot a few seconds at 20 fps and when the buffer if full it continues at 12 fps.

Don’t worry Jonathan. It won’t take any better images than the Z9 or the Fujis.
It is however, frustrating investing chunks of money and the manufacturers bringing out comparable performance models at a fraction of the price.

It finally arrived - well built and easy to put together but quite fiddly to balance the camera and lens - the C of G needs to be precisely matched to the gimbal. There are three slides to do this but they are quite stiff and need to be adjusted by sliding them by hand - no fine adjustment by screw thread.
Once balanced the gimbal works flawlessly.
Downsides -
It does not support the D610 electronically so you cannot use the time lapse function or handle shutter button.
The forwards / backwards slide has limited travel backwards due to the rear bearing so cameras with the tripod mount set near the rear of the camera are impossible to balance with large lenses unless you can fit a conterweight or an offsetting bracket to bring the camera / lens C of G back. So the only lens I have at the moment that will work is my 35-70.
The gimbal has a a follow focus motor which needs a toothed belt fitted to the focus ring - on the 35-70 this is just a thin ring at the front of the lens and impossible to keep the belt on! There is also a problem if the lens you want to use is not internally focussing as any upsetting of the C of G will throw the balance off - the gimbal will still work but the effort required from the motors increases and battery life decreases.
