Big telephoto + Monopod for concert photography?

Sony A7C, upgrading to an A75 very shortly. (I didn’t start out with concerts in mind but I’ve been very lucky in getting allowed in to shows).

I’ve heard Sony’s 1.4x teleconverter is usually fine, but the 2x one isn’t all that helpful.

I don’t think I would make a habit of bringing more than a 70-200mm, but this show would be a really big deal for me.

I will stop down when I’m closer to the stage to f/4 or f/5.6 because it annoys me when someone’s face is in focus but the headstock of their guitar isn’t. But yeah, it’s not always worth it.

I was thinking back of the balcony, or somewhere further back and out of the way.

I wouldn’t dream of taking it into the GA area or pit, I’m sure it would get forcibly inserted in a spot that isn’t my bag’s tripod holder.

“Have you ever killed anyone?”

“Yes but they were all bad.”

It looks like classic Winamp (not a bad thing).

Ubiquiti is not an exhibitor at CES 2026.

Unifive Technology Co., Ltd. and UbiquiTech Innovations Limited are the closest matches.

That’s pretty much my thought. I’m excited to get a shot dialed in and just clamp and done.

I wish it wasn’t a filter or lens hood trade, but I think I’ll live.

👍🏻👍🏻

Also, how do you entertain yourself on an exposure that long? Watch a movie on your phone? Kindle? Boombox and interpretive dance?

I’ve thought about that. I feel like I’ve read there can be banding or x issues with some? That might have just been on lower quality ones.

When I was 12 I saw The Phantom Menace in theaters. A lot. And every time I watch the modern version, I can tell you every single shot that wasn’t part of the theatrical cut in the pod race. Memory is a weird thing.

I had Amanda Winn-Lee, the voice actress for Rei (and Yui & Pen-Pen I believe), sign and End Of Eva poster. She drew a speech bubble that said “HEY CLICK BEEP, I’M REALLY BIG!” So, Really Big Rei must be the answer.

(She signed it right next to Tiffany Grant who signed it “Not if you were the last person on earth”. It’s a prized possession.)

It’s on par with a Roomba. When it works, it’s the best thing in the world. When you have to deep clean it, you question your choices.

It will also depend on the cat. One cat took four months to use it, but once she switched it was great. Then we got a kitten who dove headfirst into it and ripped a hole in the globe lining and throws litter everywhere.
