I assume you are talking about cast iron only for a fry pan or skillet, not the sauce pan or deeper cooking pot.

I tried several camping type fry pans and disliked them all. Too thin which resulted in very uneven heat.

I saw a nice cheap kitchen type non-stick aluminum fry pan on sale in the farm store that had a bolt, not a rivet for the handle. Thinking that I could remove the handle to cut the weight in half and use a camping type pot gripper I bought it. It is 10 inch and 410 grams without handle.

Works great. The thickness of the aluminum is almost exactly half way in between the thicker aluminum omelet pan I use at home and the thin camping pans I hated. I have used it on several week long canoe trips and a week long backpacking trip.



The outside bottom was smooth black paint which is a bit slick, the pan has slide on my stove so I recently went over the bottom with a course sander to roughen it up but have not tried it since I sanded it.
