... no, not the XL2 but the Manfrotto (Bogen) 525/519 Kit. The XL2 is due next week, but it seems that Canon Germany have some trouble to deliver on time. It took them 3 month (!) to deliver a viewfinder entension for my 20D. So here is my question:

Would anybody know the weight of the XL2 with 16x manual lens, FU1000, Chrosziel 4x4 DV sunshade and Chrosziel Follow Focus? I'm asking because the 519 head comes with two springs for different camera weights and I would like to know which spring to install.

Any input is appreciated.

About 6 Kilograms.

Thanks Mark.

So the stronger spring is correct.

Good shooting, Herr Hoffman!
