Took out a demo kayak over the weekend to try it out and ended up purchasing it yesterday. I've shot from kayak lots down in Nanaimo while visiting the in-laws but now I have my own for use on the Yukon's numerous lakes and rivers.
These five shots were from my test run on Sunday morning....kayaking at -1C is actually not that bad I found
Very nice. Have been thinking about getting one, but I have never kayaked before and I'm a bit worried about stability with a big lens rig. How do you make sure you keep stable when shooting sideways?
Wilderness Systems has an optional foot-operated rudder for the Pungo. I find a rudder useful for wildlife photography. One can paddle up a good speed, then glide, steering with the rudder.
This is useful around sensitive birds as the paddle motion is often upsetting to wilder birds.
