Thanks Jacob. I think it is odd that I haven't gotten any interest. But at least I have a backup for the time being. :)

Chris,
I got the new version of the Letus35XL for my H1...this will not work with the Z1U. Sorry.

Need a small camcorder for travel. Presently, the Canon Optura 400 (new sealed in box) is going for between $377 - $388 (buy it now) on ebay.

I can pay $300 for a used 400 in excellent operating condition. I also have video equipment for trade if that is of interest.

John Inman · August 7th, 2006, 08:06 AM

Anyone interested? I also have an extra xw9300 I would sell.

Cleaning out a closet and moving some unused gear.

This is an IDX X-Lite, which is a 50-watt onboard camera light. It is a full kit including the light with flood / spot dial, 4-pin XLR power cable, threaded handle for boom pole use, bulb and extra bulb (no time on either one), barndoors, diffusion screen, daylight filter, and an extra filter lug for an alternative filter arrangement.

Never used, in like-new condition. Be advised that it requires 4-pin XLR power. It would be appropriate for a shoulder-mount camera such as the GY-HD100 or bigger. Price when new was about $350 or higher. Selling it for $200, including 3-day shipping and insurance. Continental U.S. buyers only please; cashier's check (bank check) or PayPal accepted. See photos below.

My days of 4:3 onboard monitors are over, but yours are just beginning.

This is a like-new, used-once, 5" active matrix TFT onboard LCD display optimized for Canon XL series camcorders, as it is powered by the same BP-9xx type batteries as the Canon XL2 / XL1S / XL1. It's a very bright monitor, one of the best of its kind in its price range. It's an earlier version of the current NEB 50 LI which you can see at http://www.nebtek.com/proddetail.php?prod=101NEB50LI -- it's the same display, the only difference is the position of the video input jack.

Although it has a volume control and a headphone jack, be advised that it is set up for video input only. There's no audio input on this monitor. Also, it will not letterbox a 16:9 signal; it'll just squeeze it like a spaghetti western.

A universal 1/4-20 shoe mount and soft case is included.

Also throwing in a third-party dual battery charger for Canon BP-9xx type batteries. It has removeable charging plates so you can mix and match other battery types as well. Wall-wart AC power supply and DC cig lighter type car charger included.

I want to sell the monitor and charger kit together, it all fits into the same soft case nicely, sorry I'm not willing to break them up. See photos below.

Monitor price when new was $560. Not sure what the dual charger is worth. Selling the whole kit for $380, including 3-day shipping and insurance. Continental U.S. buyers only please; cashier's check (bank check) or PayPal accepted.

For anybody still shooting with a Canon XL1 or XL1S, here's the perfect shoulder support.

Quite awhile back, VariZoom used to sell it as the VZ MediaPro, but this is from an even earlier production run so it's branded under its original designation "SP 7." Basically it's an adjustable, form-fitting shoulder support for the Canon XL1 or XL1S. It has a quick-release mounting plate that attaches to the second 1/4-20 threaded insert on the XL1 / XL1S body. Not the main tripod mounting insert, but the second one where an MA-100 or 200 would go.

You can read the review I wrote on this thing way back when from the old XL1 Watchdog days at http://www.dvinfo.net/canon/articles/article76.php. It is *not* compatible with the Canon XL2 or XL H1.

It's been in storage for several years now and is in very good condition with one exception. There's an adhesive-backed protective pad which has started to peel back. It needs to be replaced -- a simple and inexpensive job for the buyer. See photos below.

Price when new ranged from $350 to $500 or higher depending on who sold it. Today it's fairly rare. I'm offering it for $250, including 3-day shipping and insurance. Soft bag plus some Canon swag (t-shirt, hat, pens etc.) thrown in for good measure. Continental U.S. buyers only please; cashier's check (bank check) or PayPal accepted. See photos below.

Dan Keaton · August 7th, 2006, 09:50 AM

Dear Chris,

I am having problems accessing your photos, some type of permissions issue.

I would love to buy the item, but as you stated, it will not work with the XL H1, sorry.

David Clark · August 7th, 2006, 10:07 AM

Lens is 4 1/2 years old, it came with my XL-1s. Glass is perfectly clean and is free from scratches, streaks, mold, dust, etc. The camera (with this lens on) has always been in it's bag when not used, and the lens was kept in lens storage bag when not needed. It has never been used in harsh conditions. All functions work great. I will ship it out double boxed. Lens ser.# 5701410A $650.00 Shipped to USA, slightly higher for outside U.S.

Includes Canon lens bag, Canon sunshade, UV filter, front and back lens cap.
Thanks.

Go to http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/usercp.php -- select Edit Options, and under Thread Display Options, check Show Images and click Save Changes.

Dan Keaton · August 7th, 2006, 10:26 AM

Dear Chris,

I performed the above.

My option to show images was checked.

I unchecked it, and then selected it again so that it was checked, then I performed a "save".

Results, no change, I still have a permissions problem viewing the images.

So I logged off, and then logged on again, still no success.

I am only reporting this in case others are having the same problems.

Daniel Lang · August 7th, 2006, 10:41 AM

Hey Paul,
I've got one that I've been sitting on for a while. I live in the U.S. though. If you don't mind picking up shipping I can send to the UK. The light and battery pack are in perfect shape, however (try to follow me) the threads that tighten the screw on the barn door somehow popped out. You can still attack the barn doors, I use it all the time, you just can't tighten it for extra security. IT kind of snaps on as it is. Also the daylight filter on the barn doors is gone as well. I'd sell it for $300.00 you pay shipping.

How much do you want? I might have a buddy who would be interested.
