Thanks for your replies chaps. Very helpful. We're still a little sketchy on the details so I'm not sure how big the fjord is either but so far it's looking like Stachler Video-80, Canon 40x (if we can eek out the budget...which considering the type of shot, I think it should be considered). And I like the sound of the old school 'sports finder'...could come in handy. Thanks again, Simon Douglas.

I'm going to be filming a base jump from across a fjord on a dsr-450, tripod and with a long zoom lens (not sure which yet) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for shooting distant objects on long lenses? Any advice will help as I'll only get one shot at it...Thanks.
