Is the nikon af s 500mm f 5 6e pf ed vr good for video?

The site doesn't say how this lens performs for video. Its page covers the basics: a 500mm prime, stabilised, with autofocus, made for full frame and fitting Nikon F bodies. It's a wildlife lens, and on full frame that's a very tight view.

For video, the Video guide points to a wide lens for vlogging and says sound matters more than most people expect. A 500mm lens is the opposite of a vlogging lens, so it's a poor pick for talking-head or handheld work. If you want to film distant wildlife, it could work, but plan your audio separately. See the audio section for the microphone options I'd budget for.
