And so Jerry what does "wimpy" mean for this photographer whose got an
assignment shooting on locations like this? I mean this is a shoot crew not
some amateur with a mickey mouse set up, so the guy must know what he does
with his gear.

Hell I'd screw my camera to a rock or coconut tree to shoot in places like
this and not even think about whether it looked like a rocket on a broom
stick or a broom.
