That thing is massive, but the midsized 'universal' one is more what i'm looking for. It's still on the heavy side though:
Acratech: 450g Markins: 510g Novoflex: 610g Arca-Swiss: 772g Now before people start complaining that 100g isn't a lot, let me say that I cut my toothbrush handle in half and drilled holes in the remaining stub to save weight. I also recently spent $120 CAD on a new ice axe to save about 250g.
