This is most likely caused by the way we currently calculate the duty factor of animations: https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/advanced_fatigue/functions/fnc_getAnimDuty.sqf

The question is, do we want to add a penalty for running with an item in the hand, and if so, how much.

[Bummeri]

Well at least the binocular is much more lightweight than the rifle. So the penalty should be less than moving with a rifle? At least the current implementation is flawed since it consumes stamina faster than with a rifle.

I'm not a 100% sure on this but I believe having your weapon on your back costs more stamina than weapon lowered.

[BaerMitUmlaut]

The only difference would be movement speed. So whichever is faster is more exhausting.

[kymckay]

If I understand right, you'd move further for the same amount of fatigue, so it doesn't actually cost more stamina.

As for the original issue, to answer @ulteq's question: it kind of depends on the item, but I can't think of any other items you can hold in your hand besides binoculars (which are a weird weapon/item?).
