Best place to get IDX kit in Aus? at DVinfo.net

Shaun Wilson · December 2nd, 2006, 04:10 AM

Hey guys, need to get the HD100 IDX battery kit in a hurry (ie order it Monday and make sure it's on my doorstep by Wednesday), can any Australians advise me of the best place to get it that will have it in stock for a good price & can courier it overnight to Hobart? ie a place in Victoria would probably be best (then again mite be irrelevant)

Thanks in advance...

Videoguys does a good job. Bought an IDX kit from them.

Actually, Steve Hibberd is terrific indeed - a more personal touch. They also have alternative and cheaper battery systems. Also you could buy just the Anton Bauer plate and then get somer really good and extra cheap batteries from GlobalMedia pro - I have used both this sytem and the IDX and the only difference is that one costs about the third of the cost of the IDX.

Ended up going with John Barry Group, got a good price and they were able to ship it to me very quickly. They also put up well with my constant paranoid harassing about getting it to me on time.

They have tapes for a good price too, I got a pack of 10 JVC ProHD tapes for $80. Most places seem to do them for around $110 for a 10 pack.

I bought my HD101 from Steve Hibberd at Provisual in Brisbane and found them (Provisual) to be excellent both in their friendly personal approach to service as well as putting up with my never ending quesitons :-).
