Swarovski 8x32 NLPure
Swarovski BTX, Swarovski 95, Balance Rail.
Nikon D4 body
Nikon 500mm F/5.6 PF.
Nikon 500mm F/4, FL ED VR (rarely used now)
Nikon 1.4x Mk3 Teleconverter,
Nikon 200mm F/4 Micro Nikkor (rarely used now)
Gitzo GT3353 heavy duty carbon magfibre tripod with Manfrotto MVH502 fluid head.
In hiking mode, the kit is carried on a Scopac Plus. Circular polariser and neutral density (ND2) filters are also used when conditions demand them. I carry about 200 gigs of memory on several separate cards. I generally shoot in RAW. For slower moving subjects, I switch to 14 bit which adds about 10% to the file size. Lightroom CC is used to process the images. I also use Adobe Light Room.
If space and weight allows on foreign trips, I take my laptop (Surface Pro 4) and download all images each evening, though recently I have been using Nikon Snapbridge and WiFi images straight across to the mobile (bypassing the laptop).
