LCD 9.0 weight

[Ryan Flesher]

Anyone know the weight of the 9.0 and 5.0 Touch LCDs.
i can't find it on red.com.

Trying to see how handheld is with the 9.0 and a top handle.

By my measurement, it weighs 2lbs, 13oz. It could be used for handheld, but you'll feel like you've got a plasma screen television set on top of your rig. When it arrived, I had two reactions. The first was, "Wow, this is great! Perfect for getting critical focus." The second was, "Wow, this stinks, it HUGE! Guess I'll be using the EVF a lot more now." Which is exactly what's happened. I'm using the EVF now handheld, the LCD when on sticks. That's my experience.

The 5" is a great compromise size, big enough to do what you want, borderline for critical focus because you've got the 1:1 feature. You get really spoiled by the 9" size however. Makes you start thinking, "Why don't we just shoot this on the tripod?" YMMV.
