There plenty of people on here who could give you lots of advice but you need to go to the
Under Water Overland Forum which is the one below this one Mick |

Several people here use the Canon XL2 and XLH1 for wildlife filming due to the interchangable lenses.
Basically you need a long zoom and a good tripod. You might want to check out the UWOL forum and the videos from Per Johan and Geir Inge, to mention a few, to see what these cameras are good for. I use the Canon XM2, but I find that I often wish I had more tele zoom for close up shots. |

Re: wild animal filming
Also consider what your gear weighs. There is a lot of hiking when it comes to nature subjects. I ended up with a Sony NX5 with a tele-extender because that amount of zoom was too heavy to carry otherwise.

Sony PWM EX3, stock lens, shot from farther away than it looks, but the HD footage held up amazingly when I pushed in on it during post production. |

Re: wild animal filming
Nice video Charles!
I do mostly bears and use my 7D with an 800 mm lens.A good tripod is essential unless you can find a spot to use a beanbag. Graphite is your friend. |
