The only choice you have are between the Walter Klassen and Daniel Sauve Designs  back mounts. They are very light. I've tried them but again, tHey are very expensive and they are usually custom fitted although there is a universal they are still very expensive. I think Actioncam has one but don't know the price. Do you own a steadicam or other commercial rig?

Dear Charles:
Nice to meet you!
I has a front mounted vest now,but it so weight,nearly 4.5kg
If the carbon back mounted vest can reach  a weight in 1.5kg,I'll buy one
That can save a lot power and I won't feel tired so soon

Thank you!

It all depends on the length and size you are. These are usually custom made to fit. There are universal vest. Regardless of type you will be hard fetch to get a high-end vest that only weighs 1.5kg unless there is one that I don't know about. The miminumal I know of is 2.4kg and that's the sk vest, I think.

It seams to me that the weight of the vest is more or less irrelevant to user fatigue.

The weight at the end of the arm contributes dozens of times as much force on the operator.
