SLR Camera Use and RSI
I have been thinking about this for a while. The thought of holding a heavy DSLR camera coupled with a large lens may lead to RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). A camera can only be gripped properly using the right hand and all steering and control is also done by the right hand, support is provided by the left hand/arm.
When I am using the camera all day at airshows I have for two days afterward the feeling of strain in the right fingers because they have been used to grip and steer the heavy setup. More-so when the weather was cold during use.
I switched to monopod use but still found the right hand/fingers still did lots of work and although the strain was less still occurred.
Total weight of my current setup is approx 3Kg
Anyone else find this or just me.
