Thanks Robert. Because of a time crunch I have ordered the manual from Canon (it's only $10 so no biggy). I appreciate your response.

Wanted: Frezzi 75w mini-fill w/dimmer and Soft Box diffuser (or close)
 

Hello,
Most of our production is outside in the long Alaskan summer sun.....but...we ran into a few situations last weekend with our production where we had the need for some type of lighting to help our XL1s.

If anyone has anything out there sitting around for a decent price that will work on a XL1s, please email me. I would rather buy from anyone in this group instead of reverting to ebay or retail.

I use this email from my son's website to help control the spammage: fieldy@teamkorn.tv

I will reply from another email.

Thanks in advance !

Dan

Do you have a pic or link to the camera bag or know what make/model it is? Should help you in selling it.

Bag
 

I am on the road and do not have access to the bag to check. It is a green bag from a brand that has simply slipped my mind. One of the majors. I am getting old, now where did I leave those keys....

Hmm.. I don't suppose you want to trade a Sony MiniDisc player/recorder for any of that gear. :)

Mini Disk Player-no, Canon EF Lenses-strong maybe
 

All those cool gadgets, so little time. We are ramping up for still photography and would consider Canon EF L lenses for trade or partial trade. Our nicely organized heap of unused electronic devices is alreay unruly.

* * TRIPOD * *
 

George,

I went and bought myself the Bogen 3246 tripod. I put the 501 head on it to hold my Canon XL1S. It is more than adequate. I don't know much about that particular head attached to the tripod. The 3246 should be more than enough to hold the GL1. I bought mine for 190.00 beans w/o the head.

Positives:

1. Solid Tripod
2. Sturdy
3. Easy to adjust
4. High extension, geared.

Negatives:

1. Large-Heavy for hauling around with everything else.
2. The center column prevents the unit from going low.

I enjoy mine. If you upgrade in the future to a heavy camera, the tripod will be there. It seems overkill because of the size of your camera. However, the price sounds good.

I hope this helps...

Side bar: If it doesn't work for you, you could always unload it and not lose any of your investment.

Cheers!

Derrick

Derrick,

So The tripod is good. I will see if its still available. Thanks for your input. well appriciated.

Randy, I take it the XL1 is NTSC and not PAL?

Monitor sold, thanks!

Hi Mike

I am interested in purchasing the GL1 and the ME66 but had the following questions since this is my first time making this kind of purchase :-)

1) How many hours have you put through the head of the Gl1?
2) When was the Gl1 purchased and is it still under warranty?
3) Was the camera ever sent back for repairs? Any dead/hot pixel problems?
4)What tapes did you use?
5) Will I need to get a K6 power module with a studio 1 XLR adapter in order to use the ME66
6) What form of payment are you looking for PayPal, Money Order..etc.

I'll hopefully be using this camera to shot a documentary about women rights issues back home in Africa (Eritrea) so since this is my first documentary I would appreciate any advice you or other members of this board might have :-)

Interested in the ME66 (assuming you've included the k6 power module).
We can do the deal as soon as you'd like.

Looking to buy a used Gl1
 

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a used Gl1 thats in good condition. I'm willing to spend between $1,000-$1,200 and since this is my first camera purchase be prepared to answer a lot of questions about the condition of the camera (how long you had the camera?/ was it ever serviced? and so forth)

Thanks again.

Jon

Still looking
 

Will entertain and ideas or extra on camera lighting you have laying around.........
