I work in IT for a bank, why do you ask?
Sorry to hear about the rotator cuff, that's one of my biggest fears. The resistance bands are fantastic btw, I use them to stretch my shoulders/rotator cuffs. Tie it to a bannister or door handle if you can.
After a shooting which took couple of hours with the 70-200 f4 IS + body + 600ex rt + BG E11 I just wanted to throw it away You do get pretty tired carrying that kind of combo.
But the results are astonishing.
Just curious, you seem knowedgeable on this stuff so I wondered if you were some kind of physio, how very wrong
I am hypermobile so all my joints are rubbish, I'm just as likely to sprain an ankle as I am to having wacky/ pinching shoulders! I get VERY nervous walking on unstable ground with my lovely 5D, let alone worrying about the discomfort carrying it!
As such I am awaiting delivery of the new Manfrotto Befree travel tripod that is a lighter weight version that I can carry around more often than my current model. I also use my monopod more often too.
The Befree arrived yesterday, it's amazingly small and sturdy, although I've not tried it with the 70-200 attached yet!

How small does it collapse to? This may be an option over the 190XB, If I can't sneak it in the hand luggage.
I have that on my left side. On the right side is a 5Diii with a 500F4 + 1.4TC. It's all well balanced and can be carried about all day like that with a double Black Rapid. It's all the lifting and shooting that gets tiring.Try it with a 300mm f/2.8 and a 2x converter slung on the front of the 5DMKIII... Then it gets tiring after a few hours!

my shoulders were destroyed when i went for a long photowalk a few weeks ago but that was due to me using a shoulder bag.
i only felt the after effects when i got back home

backpacks are much better for your back. Shoulder bag is probably more for quick access for an extra lens or two.
Hi guys, not posted in a while!
Need some help.
I've just received my Canon BG-E11 grip (ordered from Digital Rev yesterday morning, arrived today - very impressed!) and I've attached it to the camera body but it's not activating the shutter release.
The AF seems to be working with a half press, and the wheel and joystick seem to be doing their jobs ok, but it just will not take pictures!
That dreaded 'Oh no' feeling is starting to kick in... but hopefully I'm just missing something!
Anyone got any ideas at all? Cheers in advance!
Probably a really stupid suggestion.. But you haven't got mirror lockup enabled have you?

yea i got one but it looks like a hiking bag. it is a fstop loka. i need to get afstop guru for street
It collapses down to 40cm which is tiny compared to the 190x (which is what I currently have as well) It's also very light. It has been designed so it will fit in your hand luggage. If I finish early enough tonight I'll get a photo of the two together.
That sounds very manageable. I really like the look of this tripod but I notice it comes with the RC2 plate system (by the looks of it).
I'm after going towards Arca-Swiss as I really don't like the RC2 system (not really sure why, I just don't).
Ill wait for your user report but I'm now leaning towards a Benro Travel Angel II.
Have you looked at the 3 Legged Things?
I've got an f stop Satori EXP. its great, huge! Can't reccomend the fstop stuff enough. Shame about the waiting times.
do you use it for walking around a city?

Not sure if I'll keep mine. I have to say there are things I like about the 5DIII but I wish it had a couple of more frames per second. The silent shutter is great, large rear screen and big file size. Going to give it another weekend but I think I might just sell it.
