So....is there a proprietary Deardorff Hernia Appliance?

Perhaps a forklift?

Once you get the camera box up off the ground, then you've got to pick up the tripod with the other arm to balance the load. Ouch!

My wife plays pedal steel guitar, 50 pounds in its case. That, with a bass amp, and suitcase for the seat and other amp accessories, it's easily 100 pounds. I'm the roadie and have had enough trips through airports and car travels to know what heavy is. My V8 kit with 3 lenses and a dozen film holders is light in comparison. She has a double neck 12 string Sho-Bud that's 75 pounds all by itself. Ugh, at least like I'm not a piano mover.

Get a small folding Magna-Cart, that will help.
