Try MPS Studios in Dallas. I know they have the P & S for the Varicam & the Sony 900 as I've used it for them before.

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, but just signed up. (I've learned a ton here) I'm a director putting together a 5 minute teaser/test for my independent feature.

We're shooting a few scenes April 29&30 to compare Super16 with the JVC HD100U with a mini35. I'm footing the bill myself, so I'm trying to get this done really cheaply. That means, I'd like to find someone with an interest working with me for low-no money to allow me usage of their mini35 for the weekend. I have the JVC already, and am renting an Arri SR2 at a steep discount.

The teaser stars Michael Hitchcock (Best in Show, Mighty Wind, Pretty Persuasion) as a man who has to save his home and family from destruction by his evil homeowners association.

If anyone knows someone/someplace or has access to a mini35 (and perhaps a JVC connecting kid), I'd love to talk to you about the project and see if there's something we can work out.

I'm also willing to try out one of the alternatives (like the M2).

Thanks

Thanks Charles... Yeah - drop me an email or a phone call - just not on Fridays or Mondays ;)

I'm looking to rent a Mini35 for the part of my feature that I'm shooting with the HVX, anyone know of a rental house that has them in the Mid-Atlantic Area. (I live 10 minutes from Atlantic City.)

Thanks, Andrew

I found one at DC CAMERA (http://dc-camera.com), how reliable is this rental house?

Jonas Nystrom · May 2nd, 2006, 05:24 AM

Does anyone have any suggestion or input?

Guy Genin · May 2nd, 2006, 09:15 AM

Hello Jonas,

There is a list of the dealers on page 51 of the instruction manual for the Mini35.

You can find the manual on the following page: http://www.pstechnik.de/en/downloads...ual_050216.pdf

I hope this helps.

Travis Surovcik · May 10th, 2006, 01:47 PM

You can check out our website at www.zgc.com for a list of rental houses in your area that carry the Mini35. You'll want to click on the P+S Technik link and then follow through to the Mini35 section of the site. From there you will see a link for "Rental Houses". That should help you out.

In regards to your last question, DC Camera is a great place to rent your equipment from. Definately give them a call.

Alex Christenson · May 31st, 2006, 07:45 PM

Hello,

I'm looking to rent a Mini35 adapter (for DVX100), a Superspeed set of primes (t1.3), and possibly a follow focus. This is for music video shoot, a student shoot.

I'm not looking to spend more than $400...$500. It's for one weekend. Anyone know a good house I can go to?

Alex
