The traditional definition of a "mini rig" is "you can easily carry it, in one trip."
Yeah some of the images posted on this thread are not mini/micro rigs. A small cab with a standard sized amp does not qualify.

Anything I can load in in 1 trip qualifies as mini/micro, in my mind.
True, but I am willing to give "honorable mention" to anyone who significantly downsizes. Like if you go from a 200lb rig to a 100lb rig, that could be "mini" for you (relatively speaking).
I understand what you say but the term has to be defined properly rather than it being just an opinion.
I would argue it is defined by each person's physical abilities. Some of us can lift 100lbs easily, while others of us struggle with 30lb. This is why I like the "one comfortable trip" definition.

Definitely. If I can get my bass, amp, pedals and stand in with 1 trip, that joint is micro.

Are casters allowed? If so, this qualifies:
Basses in gig bag on my shoulders, amp/cable bag in one hand, other hand dragging the half-fridge - one-trip load-in!

I am not referring to it as a contest, but a mini/micro rig is a defined item. Ampeg call theirs a micro rig and I think TE and Acoustic do the same. It is referred to as a micro/mini rig because that is what it is. Its a bit like calling a tangerine an orange.

I was wondering because if I use a rig (as opposed to just being plugged into the board) I have two svt210av's, and an ampeg pf500. I think if I just use one of the cabs, then it's a mini-rig, but if I stack them, then it's not.
Mmm.....This is getting complexed now lol!
But you know something I would still refer to your rig as a mini/micro rig, and with you having 2x210AV Cabs it would probably be best described as Mini rather than Micro. But definetley not standard.

Much of this thread is discussion about whether a rig meets the MROD criteria. I understand everyone's interest in trying to stick to the thread topic, but much like grammar-policing the Internet, this is a sisyphean task, and takes away from the intent of the thread, which is to provide small amp porn, which I enjoy viewing. I mean this in the most friendly, fellow small-amp porn viewer way.
