An essential piece of bird photography gear is a ground pod. In this video I demonstrate how I use a skimmer ground pod to take photos of waterbirds and shorebirds. Getting a low shooting angle is imperative to capturing engaging and beautiful bird photos. This video showcases numerous photos taken using the ground pod and shows what sort of shots are possible. I hope you found this video helpful and I would love to hear in the comments what you use to get down low. Do you think the skimmer is worth the hefty price tag?
