Got the 15 Pro; it's heavy & forearm soreness...

[DiscoDude77]

I upgraded from a 12 and first thing I noticed is how much heavier it is. My forearms are sore. I looked it up and it's one ounce heavier than the 12. Is the weight something I'll get used to? I like everything else about it.

one ounce heavier made your forearms sore? sorry but, HIT THE GYM my friend.

Funny. I'm looking into a lighter case for one. the one i have now is one ounce - found another one that is 0.2. I'm sure I'll adapt with time.

Guess its a good thing you didn't get the 14 Pro then if you think the 15 Pro is heavy...

So I figured it out - it's less the weight - it's the heavier/larger camera at the top compared to my old 12. Gravity makes it pull down a bit more at the top - that's what the issue is. Today it's better - my wrist is getting used to it so I'm hopeful.
