Title says all. Anybody had luck in getting this kit together in Blighty?

TIA

Grazie

Yep, picked up a kit from WTS last week.

WTS Broadcast (http://www.wtsbroadcast.com)

Syeed, did you go with rails as well? Or is this a snap on?

What size filters you using?

Grazie

Took about a week to get hold of the bits.

0250-2000 VOCAS MB-250 KIT...............£511.00
0350-0012 VOCAS MB-100.....................£185.00
0340-0001 VOCAS Side Flag Kit.............£190.00

All prices excluding vat.

You definitely have to get the rails.

I haven't got any filters for it yet. That's on my to get list.

I'm in East London. If you aren't too far away we can always meet up and you can try it out.

Kewl! - I'm well up for it - big time.....

In town? Do some shots? South Bank? Post it here? I've got Formatt Pola and a well wicked SunSet.

Was it tough getting the other bitz?

Grazie

Perhaps even do an XF300 group meet?

Yes!

Just put a deposit down on a xf300. And getting Croz or Vocs too.

One thing...... issues getting stock from Japan. Earliest? September.

Grazie

A September ship date is nuts. CVP have the XF300 for 2-3 day delivery Canon XF300 (XF-300) HD Camcorder - MPEG-2, 50Mbps, 4:2:2 codec, L-series lens, 3 Full HD CMOS sensors (http://www.creativevideo.co.uk/index.php?t=product/canon_xf300)

So, Nigel, I'm guessing that you called them and checked availability? Or was your comment based on the website?

Cheers

So, Nigel, I'm guessing that you called them and checked availability? Or was your comment based on the website?I had no need to call them as I already own an XF305 but I have bought a lot of gear from CVP & their website is normally accurate.

Nigel, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, today is Saturday, and CVP are closed on a Saturday.

Hey ho.....

Grazie

.

Nigel, I just came off the phone with CVP and had it confirmed that if I placed an order today, I would get it in September.

Grazie

For XF cams, check out Visual Impact, London or Bristol. I believe they have stock and extremely helpful.

Nick thank you.

VI London have 2 and after that they have got no information as to when they are getting more. My price I've gotten already is some £200 pounds less. As to Bristol VI they told me that I'd have to special order the xf300 and they don't have an ETA on them either.

Still looking like September, not just for myself but for others much higher up the wholesaler food chain than I.

Grazie

There is at least one UK based seller on eBy who claims to have stock. There is a telephone number on the listing f you wanted to give them a call.

Canon XF300 HD Camcorder * New * | eBay UK (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-XF300-HD-Camcorder-New-/320704803056?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_Video_Camcorders&hash=item4aab7ef0f0#ht_2756wt_918)

BTW Graham are you prepared to wait for a promised September ship date just to save £200? A bird in the hand & all that...

For £5.5k? Call me old fashioned, but I won't take up the offer. I'll leave that to others to do.

"Bird in the hand", that's interesting. Where I'll be getting it from is only 10 minutes away from my Dad who I visit at least twice a week. Oh yeah, this company is also doing me a deal on a bespoke FF and MB package too

Am I prepared to wait? I've waited the best part of 4 years already.

Best regards

Grazie

You are welcome Grazie. If it helps, VI not only matched a third party price, but knocked another £50 off. I have only dealt with them for a couple of months, but service has been excellent and in one case, beyond my expectations, so they are getting a lot of my business on sales and hire right now.

Looks like posts have just crossed. Fully understand where you are coming from. There is one UK firm pushing hard on all things video, but their prices are literally 'unbelievable'
