Such a handsome pair. What was the uncropped view?

What system did you choose and are there mounts on the side of your transport?

Why don’t lions attack unprotected people just sitting close by in a jeep or Landrover?

Not too much cropping

i use nikon, and a light custom built support for the roof bars but mostly bean bags

They are not human hunters by nature unless their space is entered into or a tourist does something stupid like opening a door or getting too close to cubs So the vehicle is tolerated

So do you have enough of those mounts or just one

People typically have their ways to shoot, monopods, bean bags. Hand held is what I normally do. mounted supports tend to be a personal bit if gear as they vary with the type of mount (arcus, ets) and should be balanced for the camera lens. I wouldnt for instance use my mount on a 600mm lens.

So when if the mount recommended?

So when if the mount recommended?

mostly i use it when the animals are stationary so I dont have to do too much in the way of moving and dont have to support the lens
