A long lens is normally the most important piece of camera equipment for golden eagle photography from the hides at Meådal.

Main lens range

A 300-600 mm range is usually the most useful for golden eagle work. A sturdy support setup is important because sessions can be long and cold.

Wider views

A 70-200 mm lens can be useful for wider winter landscapes, environmental images and moments when birds or scenery fit a broader frame.

Special setups

Remote-controlled cameras and wide-angle possibilities can be discussed before arrival. They require planning and must always be handled with wildlife disturbance in mind.
