Well I'd be struggling to get the thing up with two hands.

And Jen, well, I might be untrendy, but I'm not dense and I just thought of googling them (LMAO and ROFLMAO) and now all is clear.

Now I'm just left wondering why we (read - trendies) went to the trouble of making up abbreviations for expressions that we never used to use anyway. I mean, did people used to be say they were Rolling on the Floor Laughing My Ass Off when someone said something funny? I don't remember that at all

Good value Ron.

I lifted my LX200R onto the tripod once when I first got it.

All I can say is never again.

Cheers

Looking at what Mike was lifting, I don't think he would have to much trouble with the 12"0TA
Mike made it look easy. He could hold it out at arms length (70lb). He did it at my place a few years ago when we were setting it up. That's another story isn't it Mike!
