If you look a little closer, he's actually shooting MEDIUM FORMAT (on a large format camera), not actually large format (120 roll film back on a 4X5, eh ?).
I noticed that, as well. I'm not sure I get the point of bringing that into the conversation. --Bob

I noticed he's using a wooden heavy tripod. Looks like my Zone VI tripod from Fred Picker that's languished in storage for decades. Are wooden tripods still in common use by large format photographers?
A very good friend of mine who shoots 8x10 uses one. I also have one, but generally use my Gitzo. The Gitzo is an older one. So, it's fairly substantial. --Bob

Got it. Heavy; mine probably weighs 15 - 20 pounds.
