Hi Jan, good day. I purchased your perched episode 1 + the master class editing videos. The content if flawless and I'm really satisfied. I do have a question, in the video perched, you have used ball head clamps to attach some perches. Could you please let me know where you brought them or how can I aquire some? I tried looking for the over the internet but I can't find any similar one's like you have.! Thanks a lot for your time. Cheers

Easily the best instructional video I have seen

Jan has a natural relaxed presentation style that makes for easy viewing.

I've been photographing birds for a number of years and I regret that I didn't get to see this video years ago, as it would have improved my setups a lot sooner.

This instructional video stands out as an exceptional resource, offering an unparalleled blend of practical advice and insightful tips. It's not just the best instructional video I've seen, it's a comprehensive guide that has significantly influenced my photography journey. .

The video you wish you had access to when you started

Jan gives you the video you wish you had access to when you started asking yourself some of those difficult photo questions.

It presents bleeding edge bird photography in an easy to understand, informative style & shows that it’s not the camera or computer equipment but these simple steps and a little bit of creative thinking that will get you where you want to be.

Even if your a walk & stalk kinda guy or girl there are so many transferable skills included here it would be ridiculous not to have it as reference.

Anyone wanting to advance their skills in bird photography will absolutely benefit from this

This is a highly informative documentary of exactly how Jan gets those amazing shots.

This honest approach in sharing techniques and skills he has learned and developed over ten years of bird photography is invaluable. Each and every process is clearly explained (not just what he did... but why he does it!).

Having watched this several times now, I highly recommend it. I believe anyone wanting to advance their skills in bird photography will absolutely benefit from this."
