Brave taking all that to Rio from what I've heard but still a nice collection

Also, they should've brought these again

Must be expecting a LOT of breakdowns!
 
Unlikely!

FWIW, both brands try to poach users away from the competition by offering free swaps of systems to some high profile professionals. Happens between such as Sony and Fuji as well.

''...This means that each photographer is carrying up to $42,289 in Canon gear in their 50lb bag when covering one of the sporting events....''

every thief in Rio just had a heart attack..............:D
 
Wonder how many photographers will get mugged when they're there....
 
Don't forget the mugger who tried to rob a Russian diplomat but ended up with acute lead poisoning from his own pistol...
 
The video on that link of the guy having his lens pinched is crazy!!
 
Reading the article, it was the robbed photographer himself who spotted the imposter trying to use his ID rather than the security detail.
 
I thought lightweight tripods would be a disadvantage
 
-------who spotted the imposter trying to use his ID----

not the sharpest tool in the box then................:LOL:

with (supposedly) US$40k of kit. he should have been long gone..!
