How much does it weigh without the 4 D-size batteries? Am considering it for a x-c ski trip.

Sorry, I don't know, but it's very lightweight, even with the batteries inside. Notnear as heavy as my Coleman .

Just a little over 1 pound empty. With the handle folded close to the body of the light (on top, following the angle of the hinge) the lamp is about 3"x7.5" and 14" circumference. Might be a bit big for a day trip but worthwhile for multi-day trip .. but that's just me, I try to keep my pack as light as possible.

I'm not really sure how heavy it is. I have it stuffed in a closet somewhere where I will never find it when I need it. I wouldn't say it weighs very much without the batteries but may be kind of big to put in a backpack for a decent trip. It does fold shut but is still fairly bulky.

If your trying to save weight, go to Walt-Mart ($1.00 for a 2 pack) or a Dollar Store ($1.00 for a 3 pack) and purchase carbon-zinc batteries. They are substantially lighter. You will not have the the long run time of alkaline batteries, but for a weekend tip, you should be able to use it all you want without changing the batteries.

Without the batteries? Maybe a little over a pound. I'm former military and quite aware "size" matters. Got 2 and have to say run time and functionality make it worth the extra ounces.

The lantern weight WITHOUT THE BATTERIES 1.25 LBS. With the batteries the lantern weight 2.53 lbs and the batteries weight 1.28 lbs

It does not weigh 5 pounds, I'd guess maybe 6 ounces without the batteries.

Book says about 5 miles. That would depend on terrain,your weight and lessen as the battery gets older. Keep the battery charged. This isn't the kind of battery that you let drain and recharge for best care. Avoid letting the battery sit out in freezing weather when low. Great machine, been everywhere with it. Travels well. Loads pretty easy with two people lifting. Good choice.

It weighs about twice as much as an I phone 4. I have traveled all over with this in my handbag and it wasn't too bad Took it on multiple plane flights and flew across country twice. It saved my sanity. I could use it to hook up to my Kindle and phone and did not lose battery power

My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

it only is about 12 pounds with the battery in it, it would be light enough I think for anyone.

Maybe a pound. I never thought it was heavy. It fits well in your hand in a comfortable position due to the handle. The 4 C batteries are better than D batteries for weight.

I weigh about 180lbs and will go about 10 miles at full speed on mostly flat terrain. I have thought about a spare battery, but have not found a good way to carry one with me.... I could imagine if I commuted to work or somewhere regularly keeping a spare battery to switch out.

Molly, it weighs about 2 lbs with the four AA batteries> The measurements are approx 14" x 6" from the top hanging ring to the bottom crystal. I love them!

I put a Gopro on mine so it added a little bit more weight. Its also above 105 degrees in Phoenix when I fly and I still get over 10 mins. I have an alarm that goes off when my batts hit 3.7 volts. I would highly recommend buying one. They are inexpensive. I usually get worried about battery life and land it way before pushing it to limit. I don't want it to have it auto land in a far off location and not be able to retrieve. I have a couple of spare batteries so its no big deal to swap them out. A flight lasts long enough so don't worry about it. 10 mins is a longer than you think. Just have some spares and enjoy. It nice to land and take a break anyway. You will love your FC40.

Hmm...I don't know the exact weight but I feels weighty near the middle of the handle without the batteries. I would say it's about the heft of a tennis racket.

it is very lightweight and ergonomic (only uses 4 c batteries). We use it for hours at a time gator hunting and weight has never been an issue.

They weigh .4oz each. These are a bit bigger (longer) than the original X4 battery and as such doesn't fit as nice, harder to tuck in the wires. The up-side is they provide a longer flight time. These are the same size as the original battery for the x4 with camera and fit that model perfectly.

I didn't actually weigh it, but it was visibly larger than the battery I took out. I put it in the military helicopter Syma S102. As noted doesn't seem to affect flight much; happy with the replacement, it does fly much longer.

I would say it's light enough to be portable but I keep it in one location. No batteries.

I have only used it once skiing. It looks like about two hours of continuous recording. I just put it on record for the day of skiing and it turned off sometime during the day after it had run out of battery. I liked the video I got. I need to find a better way of attaching to get more of the action.

we bring ours in from the cold when not in use as it is digital and has a battery cold will affect it. But we use it weigh when it is cold and just bring it in when done, and it works fine.
