But I think some of you guys already knew that. I have been trying to get better and better camera gear and accessories as I can, last year I had purchased a piece called a gimbal and wound up having some trouble with it as it would not handle my lens. I have been saving up money with two purposes, one in case I had to move which I now know is not the case and the second is to get a high end gimbal. Basically what a gimbal does is holds the camera and lens in place and at various angles such as pointed up at the moon and maybe at a bird on the tree or on the ground, it will turn both vertically and horizontally.
Anyway the part that may make me seem weird is that I would really rather shoot a quality picture of a turkey that would make me proud of it this year than I would shoot one with a gun. (I would like to do both in one sitting) I do not have top of the line gear, I wish I could afford a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens but who as $13,000.00 laying around for a lens?
To those of you that shoot a lot of turkey (with camera) what if any advise could you give me? This is what I have for gear, last year I had the 70-300mm lens in the blind with me but the gimbal gave me problems as I mentioned above.

This is the new gimbal and it set up with the camera.
