The UPS guy came. :D

Quick review is wow, what a rig this is! Put the 600VR on my D3 and changed the foot to a 4th Generation Design low profile foot. Then added a LensCoat to make sure this sucker stays pristine. Went out into the back yard since too late to go anywhere but nothing moving at all....not even the dog was home....sheesh.

So I took a couple shots of STUFF.

VR is very responsive it seems, focus is dead on. The rig is maybe 3lbs more than it was with the 500 so not that big a deal in my opinion.

Will really get to use this next week in the Everglades and Ft Desoto. But so far....a very happy camper.
