So, I Weighed My Camera Tonight

[usayit]

Just curious. My usual walk around setup....... Canon 5DIII, I put the grip back on temporarily, lens is 24-70L 2.8 II
5 pounds!!!!

Two cameras + two f/2.8 zooms + one with a battery grip are just under 4 pounds.

My "Walkaround" camera is my D7100 with grip, a 150-500 lens, and a tripod. About 11 pounds for camera and lens and another 3 or 4 for the tripod.

My walk around is my iPhone 5s lol. Or just a d40 with a 35 prime (fits in my jacket pocket)

Try this. It is very light. And very capable.

It is actually 0.44 pounds. With a stripe.

But this combination has only one guarantee .. out of focus and fuzzy photos.

My walk around camera weighs around 140g...and includes a phone.

Yes, but the best part is... after enough drinking... you won't care!

My 1Dx with the 300 2.8 is around 15lbs and with the 400 2.8 around 20lbs. I hand hold both. The weight is all relative to the physical strength of the holder. I see people using short lenses and smaller camera bodies with a monopod screwed into the bottom. It doesn't matter to me how people support their cameras, not everyone has the shoulder or arm strength, and if it works for them, great.
