The actual footage of the camera starts at about 2:15.
It's strange to see such a heavy lens get handled so lightly.

He says "800mm lens", and from watching the video, it is likely a 400mm f2.8 with a 2x teleconverter.

I've never handled a lens like that; how heavy are they (ballpark)?

At first I was like WTF?!?! And then I was like "ahhh I see what's going on..." I've always wanted to go into space and see what it's like there (or at the least experience weightlessness).

Now we can start a discussion about "mass" vs. "weight."

actually, the body is a D2XS, this must have been made before they upgraded to D3S's. Nikon recently had a press release about their equipment in use by NASA and what they've been using before the release of the D3s.
cool stuff. thanks for posting!
