Hi Andy,

I'd be interested in this, but have a few questions:

1. I have a GL2 with wide angle adapter (WD58), case, power adapter, and a few batteries. Assuming you're not looking for an even trade, how much extra cash are you looking for?

3. You previously posted: "I currently own a Canon XL1S which tragically had to be sent in for warrantied repair last week. (it's ok, they sent me an FX-1 to play with while it's being repaired!)". - What happened to the camera, and what repairs were done to it?

Thanks,
Ryan Graham

Item is sold.

Hi Andy,

I have a GL2 purchased new in June. It's been used for two weddings and a church program. I have the box, all standard accessories, all docs and packaging. It has not been used as a deck (I have another dv camera for that) and is in perfect condition.

I'm also interested to hear how much extra you'd like.

Reducing the prices on some of these items.

PD150 now at $2150 CDN or $1840US

VX2000 now at $1900 CDN or $1600US with beachtech DXA-4 adapter.

Sennheiser ME66/K6 at $500 CDN or $430 US

Sony 0.7 58mm wide angle lens & LSF-SF8 lens hood at $200CDN or $175US

I prefer email to discuss any of these items (over posting here or a PM) and have no problem giving out my home number to speed up the process and make both parties comfortable.

Repair
 

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for the question.

When I bought the camera I was having the same problem a lot of XL1 and XL1S users had. The camera would eat tapes when rewinding.

The camera was under warranty (and I think it still is) so I sent the camera back to have the tape mechanism replaced.

They also cleaned and re-aligned the heads so the camera is basically brand new inside.

As far as price, I am open to offers. The XL1S is a lot more camera so a straight up trade is not possible.

I am a reasonable guy so throw me your best offer.

Thanks,

...Andy

thanks for the quote andrew :).

i don't know if any of the monitors listed are suitable for critical focusing. all have low horizontal resolutions, and i think they're more appropriate for framing than anything else.

sale is pending on the marshall monitor.

A month???

Does anyon has Dan's payment information?

$125 shipped in the US... GREAT DEAL!!!!!!!!!! The wife wants it gone! LOL

Bag Has Been Sold

I snuck into another thread that I have access to some long carbon fiber tubes (hollow cylinders) that I believe are 15mm in diameter. These appear to be exactly the same as used in rod support systems.

I am building my own system because I wanted something long enough to also use as a shoulder brace and 12v battery holder. I also want a secure mount for my lcd monitor that is farther away from my eyes than the mic shoe on the camera. This requires rods that are at least 24" long. I also want my system to be able to go in airplanes luggage easily, so I measured my duffel/sports bag I use as luggage and have decided on 26" as the length for my rods. A system large enough for all this would cost at least $500 which I don't have.

I went to a local fiberglass supplier that mostly carries stuff for surf boards and boats (I live in Honolulu). They have these rods that measure under 5/8" in diameter. Precisely measured on a fractional measuring tape they come in at barely over 19/32". I did the math and realised that they are likely exactly 15mm in diameter. If they aren't exact, they are off by about the thickness of a sheet of paper. They are also, as one would expect from carbon, very light and strong. Their black color is also appealing for use with video equipment.

If anyone is interested, I could probably get several of these and ship them to people. I don't want to do this as a business, but I know how hard it is to get these rods in decent lengths. If there is an interest, I might take some orders. The rods are 42" long, but might need to be cut down to around 36" to fit in affordable shipping packages. Heck, cut in half, two 21" tubes for under $20 shipped is a bargain. After I cut my rods down, I'll have two 16" leftovers if anyone is interested in those for the price of shipping and a cardboard box. Shipping for these all should fall within the ~$4 cost of USPS Priority Mail and I wouldn't gouge anyone that wanted a few rods since the shipping would be the same.

If anyone is interested, I'll give the place a call and see if they still have a bunch available. Sorry, they are local and don't have online ordering.

5/8 equals 15.875mm

it depends upon if you want to stretch out all of your other connections....

19/32" equals 0.59375" or 15.08125 mm.

It would be best to measure the rods with a veriner caliper to get an accurate measurement of their diameter.

Sounds darn close, tho!

Looking to buy Apple Motion 1.0
 

I am looking to purchase a copy of Motion 1.0, not 2.0. If anyone knows where I can find Motion 1.0 or would be willing to sell me Motion 1.0, I would appreciate it.

Here is the rant- I cannot believe that not even 1 copy of Motion 1.0 is available on the internet. Apple has really turned me off on the fact that as soon as the new version comes out, the old one vanishes completely. So, if anyone has a copy that they would like to sell, I would like to talk to you.

Thank you
