jeeze i had a camera on my shoulder non stop for more than an hour during a ceremony and many of my back and side muscles couldnt take it anymore. The bride was late and they rushed the wedding and i didnt get a chance to grab my monopod. even the shoulder type cams will make u hurt afte a while adn u wil get shaky results.
