Weight really does make the difference, and yep I could loose
a couple of lbs, but that weight is better distributed and easier to pack
along than a tripod.
Hi Wayne,
I know that sure is right! :-) I think that the suggestion that losing
the weight yourself is as good as reducing the weight of a piece of
equipment is a red herring anyway. My camera kit and backpack weigh around
25 pounds including the tripod and head. I've lost 30 pounds in body
weight since the first of April so by that theory you'd think that backpack
would absolutely jump off my back but it doesn't. The durn thing still
feels like 25 pounds. Also, my 28 pound touring bike still feels just as
slow and unresponsive as it ever did compared to my 20 pound racing bike.
Someone else's mileage may vary though -
Johnny
