Benro S6Pro Video Head for Wildlife Photography: Photographing GRASS SNAKES

This week I will be using my S6Pro Video Head from Benro for the first time out in the field. My previous video head was long due for replacement. I return to the pond where I have been photographing grass snakes, but was unsuccessful in last week's vlog. This week however, I am able to get a few cracking shorts!
