and what the heck is that thing in his hands?

$4,000 light meter I think he said. Looks to be as big and heavy as a 2x3 Graphic eh?
The thing in the ear must be some kind of recharging, or accessory plug judging by the way the light meter is attached to the front of the anthropomorphic holding device for the meter...

Mabye the thing in his ear is the autographic needle from a 3A Graflex, all polished up to look pretty?

2lbs, 5 oz for the body, plus 11.8 oz for the battery, plus the weight for whatever lens you're using which in this case was a 85mm f/1.8, at another 15oz. All told, that rig weighs in at 4.4lbs, which is a lot heavier than my Mini SG (sorry, no specs on that yet, I'll have to hunt down a scale for that)

My only guess as to the hardware in his ear is that he was involved in some kind of tragic accident involving a woodchipper and a bag of scrap metal.
