16.5 lbs with a mono pod. I use a Domke J1. Let me add that due to a slight handicap it is hard for me to carry, so what i did was i found a baby carriage that someone was going to throw out, and I removed the seat and used the frame to build myself a nice carriage for my equipment. It has large wheels that rotate freely and that makes it a fantastic tool (though I have to admit I get strange looks when people see me coming), but with a cane in one hand it is hard to carry the bag fully loaded.

Mine weighs in at 24 pounds - no tripod or monopod, just some heavy glass (three big L zooms) and a few accessories. All in a Lowepro Stealth Reporter 650 AW.

The Computer-Camera Gear bag weighs 25 pounds when fully loaded. 5D with 24-70 weighs less than 6 pounds, I think. :)

F-1X, which is my main bag, was around 35 lb/16 Kg last time I dared check. I've bought some stuff since then. I'd guess that my minimum carry's on the order of 10-15 lb.

The shoulder bag is around 20 pounds. The backpack, when fully loaded, is more than I can lift. My teenager puts it in the trunk of the car so I can load the shoulder bag from it.

Mine's about 35lbs. But I sold off a few things recently and don't include the tripod or monopod, or my Spotmatic & its related stuff. Still have room for 2-5 lenses (depending how long) and a third body though.
