It depends on how tall Randall actually is, but using an average of 1.7 m for humans, that camera is about 32 feet, 4 inches long (it's about 5.8 times the length of Cueball).

:Your comment makes me cringe. Apparently you measure people in metric but camera lengths (not focal length!) in imperial. So here you have it: 9,85m camera length!

:It would be nice if you could enhance the explanation by this matter. I'm not an expert on photography but I believe Randall is just talking about a ''telephoto'' which is often also called ''telephoto lens''. And his ''telephoto'' even doesn't need a single lens. Randall hasn't conflated anything, it's the explanation. I.e. instead of "100 foot lens" it should be "100 foot telephoto without lenses", and similar to other sentences.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC) | :It would be nice if you could enhance the explanation by this matter.

− | + | Could this also be a reference to all those phone camera attachment advertised online. I don't know if there's any truth to their claims (somehow I doubt it), but if anyone knows better, please chime in. | |

Were it not for the added weight of the tripod on the left, the right end would be on the ground. --[[User:Pascal|Pascal]] ([[User talk:Pascal|talk]]) 11:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC) | Were it not for the added weight of the tripod on the left, the right end would be on the ground. --[[User:Pascal|Pascal]] ([[User talk:Pascal|talk]]) 11:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC) | ||
