I'm interested in creating videos with my camera. I'd like to automate the movement of the camera (pan left/right, zoom in/out, turn left/right, etc.) I believe I need a motorized camera tripod. Can you recommend a motorised camera tripod?

Hi Guys, I have a Sony a6000 bought second hand. It's working fine but the photo capture from video function in the playback menu is missing. I've updated the firmware to 3.21 from 1.00 but the option is still missing. I can now shoot in XAVCS but would like to grab still images from the video. Anyone please?

The 200-600 is heavy. If you're not used to the weight, it can be daunting over a period of time. Since the lenses are the same in speed, you aren't gaining any low-light performance. But as Pieter suggests, what about the short end? Is 200 going to be a problem? Are you shooting from the sidelines or from the stands? If after reviewing your most commonly used focal length you find 200 won't do it, then you could look at the Sigma 60-600 Sport. It's about the same price as the Sony and would give you more at the wide end but is a bit heavier yet.  Two other options would be the Sigma 150-600 and the Tamron 150-500. Both are similar in weight to the others, maybe a touch lighter.   Lastly, and if reach is your problem, then this may not work, you could look at the Tamron 50-400. It's an amazing lens, sharp from end to end, considerably smaller and lighter than the others, and costs less. I use it all the time, thousands of shots, and it never disappoints. But 400 may not be long enough for you.  FWIW, I have the 200-600. It gets taken out about 3 times a year, while the 50-400 goes with me every time. If you go with one of the larger lenses, plan on using a monopod just to help with supporting it for a few hours.
