I've been curious about those lenses for broadcast cameras. Since I can read the model name in your picture, I looked it up. It's an 8.3-800mm zoom with a maximum aperture of f/1.7.
This is what I found on the product page:
Quote: Canon harnessed the best in optical, mechanical, and digital technologies to implement a long zoom lens that remains modest in its size and weight.
Clearly, videographers have different standards for size and weight.
