I’m leaving for workshops in Yellowstone and Moab and I’m taking Nikon’s new 180-600mm Z lens with me to test.

I’ll show you how easy it is to swap and repack those. Finally, I’m excited to announce NYA-EVO’s new accessory, the Assistant Pouch which I’ve been testing and enjoying most of this year.

Approaching The Scene 266: Action AF with Nikon Z Part 2 (Z8, Z9 & Hybrid Handoff) Hudson Henry Photography 2023-08-31 | (LINKS BELOW): In this video you’ll look through my Z9 with me as I explain how I use the incredible AF tracking system it share with the Z8 to photograph sports, action and wildlife. I’ll show you how I use the different settings detailed in my extensive free setup videos. Topics covered will include hybrid handoff from Wide Area with subject tracking to 3D Area with subject tracking, using Recall Shooting Functions Hold to flip settings with the press of a button and the occasional need to quickly flip to a simple, Single Point AF mode for static subjects. I’ve been working nonstop with these cameras since @nikonusa released the Z9 and I’ll share how I’ve learned to get the best action tracking results possible from them.Z8 & Z9 understanding Banks video: youtu.be/aNZbT_9_sf8Z8 setup Bank A video: youtu.be/4XlJnkRejuoZ9 setup Bank A video: youtu.be/qTw-XdAAKjsZ9 FW3.0 setup update video: youtu.be/IUR4jf0bK7c2024 Costa Rica & Printing workshops: bit.ly/HHP-WorkshopsOur selection of @KaseFilters: bit.ly/HHKaseMy custom tripods & support parts: bit.ly/HHPTripds Our selection of NYA-EVO packs & RCIs: bit.ly/HHP_NYAUpdated links to all the gear I use and recommend: http://bit.ly/HudsonsLinks Using my links helps support this video series.
