1. A support arm system (10) for movably holding at least one medical device, comprising
at least one movably supported support arm (18, 20, 22, 24) which is configured to hold at least one medical device,
at least one load detection device (26) which is configured to detect respective load data of the support arm system (10) during usage thereof, and
at least one storage device (46) which is configured for storing the detected load data,
wherein the support arm system (10) comprises a plurality of support arms (18, 20, 22, 24) which are supported adjacent to, and connected via a plurality of pivot bearings and/or tilting bearings to, one another such that the support arms pivot and/or tilt relative to each other, wherein the load detection device (26) is configured to individually detect the load for respective support arms (18, 20, 22, 24), and/or respective bearings.
