Official specs: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

Sorry to change the subject. I have a few questions.

1. How do these bodies fit in an average camera bag with or without a lens on? I use the basic back pack style.

2. I don't like neck straps and never warmed up to grips but I can adjust if I have to. I have been using a Camdapter wrist strap for about 10 years. I have been looking around for something similar for a 1D body. Campdater does seem top cater to this body style. Anyone using something similar? I have been cruising the web and there are products available but I like to get known and proven products.

Thanks in advance.

This fits a 1DX

Comdapter does not list 1D bodies in the compatibility chart but I did find this when I opened Pro Strap page.

Camdapter ProStraps will fit Pro Bodies like the 1Ds series and popular DSLR's with battery grips installed.

they take up about the same room as a 7D, 5D 50D with a grip attached.

I've never had one. I'l get the dimensions for a grip and figure it out. Most bag sites have a bag finder where you enter dimensions. This is not a really big deal but it is like buying a new boat. You just don't get the boat. You need a trailer, life jackets, paddle, etc. It all adds up at the end of the day and they don't give the 1DX II away. I'm on a fixed income these days

For reference here is my gripped 5D3 with a 70-200 2.8 IS II in my Lowepro 450AW backpack. I can fit two gripped full frame bodies and a few lenses, and accessories, in there without issue. Bonus, it all fits in the standard overhead compartment of an airplane.

I use the older Canon E1 strap for both my 1DX and (gripped) 7D2. They take a little adjusting until you get it just right and then I find that they work very well - certainly the best that I have tried.
Additionally you can still use a neck strap (very handy sometimes) - I use either LowePro or Matin quick detachable Neoprene straps.
P.S. I only recently bought my Matin strap, I was impressed as they really spread the load nicely - so impressed that I have just bought another one!
I know you don't like straps, neither do I - but often they are a necessary evil.

Thanks to both of you.

No problem.

Just in case anyone is also interested here is the link for the original test of the 1DX with similar images for reference against those of the 1DX MKII

Did I wind up in a Nikon forum by mistake?

Oil? Looks like the 1DX II is a fracking disaster of a camera. I just knew it.
