kool..how much? i'd like to test it out?

i know Matrix rents it to for like 300 a day(ouch, thats kinda high). I dont mind payin 100bux a day, maybe i'm out on the left filed wif that.

Sat!! My good buddy,
How goes it??? I hope everything is well with you! We must get in contact soon! As for the Mini 35, I would be interested in knowing how much the rental would be too, I'm a student, and would love to get more experience with film and such. Thanks! 300 bucks a day is waaay too much for me though, considering the fact that I can barely even afford lunch on a daily basis.

Need To Rent P+s Technik Adapter Out Of Austin!
 

Hey guys,

Sorry for the over excited title there...(needed everyone's attention).

I will be shooting a music video in Austin at the end of January and need a P+S Technik adapter to rent to go along with my SDX-900 camera.

Does anyone have their own adapter with lenses that would be willing to rent it out to me? And if not that, does anyone know of a rental house in Austin that has the adapter?

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks again.

Jeff Ray

Have you contacted the friendly, wonderful and nice folks over at ZGC.com ?

I have before, but aren't they located soley out of Dallas?

I thought they had a list of rental places across North America on their site? Either way if you contact them they may know of someone in your area who rents it, seeing as they are the authorized reseller of the mini35 for all USA and Canada.

Thanks Dennis. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they can do anything for. Appreciate the help!

I know it's a bit late to respond, but FYI, we do ship our Mini's across the country (just sent out two yesterday). When we do that, we give you one free travel day, at least, and try to make it conducive to long-distant renting.

We also ship cameras, lenses, matte boxes, follow focus systems, etc.

Our new website and pricing will be posted tomorrow at www.indierentals.com

Thanks!

Mini 35 Rental - London
 

Hi,
Does anyone know of rental houses for the Mini 35 in the London/Southern England area? Looking to get weekend rental of JVC HD101 + Mini 35 + Lenses (specifics to be confirmed) for late Feb/early March...

Optex which i'm not sure if they are still operating, ( i rang a few times at the start of the year and got no luck) are the biggest stockest of the M35 unit. They'd charge 80p a day which i think is standard in the country. Good luck.

Sadly, OPTEX are no longer operating and went into liquidation.

Paul, I'm sure Arri in Uxbridge has one and they'll have lenses as well. Give Phil Cooper a call on 01895 45 71 00.

P+S Techniks in the UK
 

I'm shooting with JVC's HDV100,
1 need to find a supplier that will hire the P+S Techniks adaptor in the UK
2 in the mean time, I have a had a adaptor engineered to mount (the mount is mechanical, it has no glass) Nikon SLR lens to the 100, but the size of the shot is etreemly telephoto, even on a super wide lens.
3 can some one shed any light on shooting with SLR lens on video camera, as it was a an exciting moment which came crashing down :-(
4 With the P+S Techiks I assume the resulting shot would be exactly what is expected from a film camera.

Thanks in advance
Rash

On the P+S Technik support page there are links to rental locations all over
the world (including the UK) for the mini35 & pro35:

Mini 35 Rental in Texas
 

I was curious if anyone knew of a place near Dallas or Lubbock that rents out the P+S Mini 35 adapters. Also if anyone knew where maybe I could purchase one or if it is cheaper to purchase right off Techniks Website, although I'm not sure how to do it there either as I wasn't able to find items for sell on their site. Any help would be great.

Hello Ryan,

Need mini35 to rent cheap in LA Area
 

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 ;)

Mini 35 Rental in Mid-Atlantic Area
 

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?

Where to buy used Mini35 in northern Europe?
 

Does anyone have any suggestion or input?

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.

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.
