Hunting Wood Ducks with the GH4 in 4K

**There is a "new and improved" edit of this video at flic.kr/p/rinkK5

 

This was digiscoped from my backyard blind using the GH4 mounted on a Swarovski STX85 spotting scope using the Digidapter. It was all shot with the camera set on manual focus by focusing the scope. At an effective focal length of 1000mm the depth of field is extremely narrow, and near the end the baby ducks went right by my blind, and I was no longer able to look through the EVF due to the angle, and I couldn't stand up or they would have seen me. Fortunately I was able to tilt the LCD down where I could look up at it and focus using the GH4's focus peaking.
