this item has been sold... thanks...

FS:Panasonic DV-953
 

I have a 953 that I got right after the New Year that I would like to sell. This camera has NEVER BEEN USED! I charged the battery once, goofed around with it a bit, then put it in a case. I have 6 Fuji tapes, all the literature, a Manfrotto quick disconnect, and the charger. The only thing missing is the box, which got thrown out when I moved last month by mistake. The reason I am selling it is because I have never used it and it is just too much money for a college student to have tied up.

I would like to sell this for $900 plus shipping (the method of your choice). You can email me at jmemt1975@yahoo.com. Thanks!

For Sale: Video Deposition Equipment Lot
 

Hello all!! I rarely post at these boards but troll all the time. I have gotten a lot of good info and tips on equipment as well as advice on starting my own small video deposition business here, so needless to say this is a great site!!

Just to let you know, I became a certified legal video specialist (through the AGCV) and I have used the legal video business as part time work to pay the bills over the past year... it is truly a great second income! Fortunately, I received a response from Universal Television about a career opportunity in New York and I start in June. I am ecstatic about it... but... now must sell my equipment.

I decided to let you guys have first dibs before heading to Ebay because I know some of you are interested in the same business. I specialized only in video depositions and purchased my specific lot of equipment to handle every kind of deposition I shot. So in case you purchase all or some of my things, you know what you can get by on when you start out... plus I would be happy to give advice to anyone aiming for this type of business venture (No, you dont have to buy anything for my advice... thats free!)

For legitimacy concerns, please feel free to check out my feedback history under the username "joecavalier" on Ebay... I have 60 transaction responses with 100% positive feedback. I am currently located in Charlottesville VA and will be happy to meet you (within a reasonable distance ) to help you save on shipping costs.

All the equipment is in excellent condition. I am very carefully with any electronics that I own... okay... obsessive compulsive (but arent we all when it comes to protecting our investment??). All the items listed were used in corporate settings and stored in my home office, so nothing was ever exposed to harsh environments.

Some stuff I bought new, some off of Ebay and some from a studio I used to work at in DC, this is indicated after the price in paranthesis, but I vouch for everything and will fully explain each item to you in detail... I can even send pics if you wish. If an item is listed as "bought new", it means that I purchased it new and used it probably 10 times and it should be considered... well... NEW! If interested in everything, I will sell the whole lot for $3,500. You can reach me via email at jrice70@cs.com, we can discuss anything and everything by phone once you respond. FYI, I will be out of town until June 2nd so will not be able to ship equipment until the 3rd or 4th. Payment options include paypal and money orders. If you would like to send a check I will need to wait for it to clear.

Okay, enough babbling... here ya go... THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!

What is the length of those tapes, and how much?

They are 63 minute MQ Mini DV tapes. I'm at work until later this afternoon- when I get home I'll count them for an exact # and get back to you.

Sorry, I have done some reading of these contracptions and from what I gather, they are a waste of money. ssoooooo, i am not looking now. ;-) I will just get used of holding the cam correctly and buy a good tripod.

Thanks Glen

Joe, not sure what you read, but I can tell you that there are many thrilled owners of Steadicam JR's, Glidecams etc. out there. It really depends on what you are looking to do with the gear and expect from it.

If you want to be able to make smooth tracking shots, that's the way to go. It will take a certain amount of practice to get the best results, but as you realized this is true of handheld as well. At the end of the day you will want to learn and practice both skills and be able to choose between them for a given shot.

Tripods are used for a third application entirely; working the camera from a fixed position. Stabilizers are too tiring to use in this fashion, and handheld doesn't look the same.

If you would care to share some of the things you read, I'd be happy to give you my opinion.

Heres one of 3 forums I read.

http://www.dmnforums.com/cgi-bin/disppost.cgi?forum=sonic-foundry_vegas&filename=040214204020.htm


Many points which I was not aware of came up in this one. I guess for the money spent, its not a necessity as of now. I would much rather buy a good light for my unit and a stable tripod.

What do you recomend in terms of tripods? I want to keep it inexpensive but quality.

Thanks Charles ;-)

Joe, buying the best tripod you can afford is a solid, long-term choice and you are right to prioritize that over a stabilizer.

As an FYI to readers of this thread who might look into that forum that Joe linked, some of my thoughts:

Post 2--While a Steadytracker can perform simple walking shots, it won't have the subtlety of a gimballed system (panning/tilting).

Post 4--Endless balancing--arguable, it's part of the deal.

One-handed operation for JR--only under certain circumstances. Best results are when operating with two hands.

Issues with extra weight: agreed, no camera over 4-5 lbs belongs on a handheld stabilizer.

Post 6--there is no comparison between shooting off a tripod and shooting off a stabilizer. One is for non-moving shots, the other is for moving shots. One is not a substitute for the other.

Post 8--learning great handheld technique is a wonderful art and everyone who shoots should practice it to a certain degree. However, even the best shooters in the world cannot deliver the same level of results that a stabilizer can when it comes to truly fluid movement, it's not how the human body works.

Post 9--I doubt that a gimballed stabilizer could be built for $20. I'm guessing they built something along the lines of a Steadytracker, aka a weighted stick. See Post 2 comments.

Regarding wearable rigs, taking an expensive workshop is a good choice if you want to become a great operator and can afford it. But for the lower end wearable rigs (under $5K, say) it's not likely to be a logical choice, and the solution is lots of practice.

Post 10--apparently lots of folks have a hard time with the balance. It isn't all that intuitive and can be frustrating, but it CAN and is possible and many users of these type of rigs have been working with them for years with fine results.

Post 11--True to an extent. It is certainly easier to work with the types of equipment mentioned hear. But if you are dead-set on getting Steadicam shots, you need to invest the time and patience. It's not a plug and play technology.

That's really the moral of the story: it don't come easy. You need to commit the time and be prepared for the learning curve and the physicality involved. It sounds like most of those posters wanted it to magically fly through the air by itself ten minutes after taking it out of the box, and it doesn't. However, it's all too easy to get frustrated and blame it on the equipment, which is not really the case. The Steadicam JR has been around for something like 13 years and there are many, many satisfied users. I myself bought one when it first came out and paid it off within a month on a couple of Hi-8 jobs, and the client loved the results. Now since I have a Steadicam background, it was easier for me to transfer my operating knowledge but I still had to learn the particulars of the system. But there is one shot that I did on an industrial back then that amazed me, because I felt the results were every bit as good as I could get on my big rig.

Good luck with your decisions, all!

Thank you so much for your time in answering these tough questions. I may in the future purchase one after all. It is always the case that with good practice, one can master.

Cheers

Still for sale. Any offers?

One correction, I have 10 Fuji tapes, not six.

Wanted: used alum. PowerBook G4 in the Vancouver area
 

My sister will be travelling to the Vancouver BC area in the 15th of june. Through her, I would like to buy a pre-owned 15" PowerBook G4 (aluminum).

I would need a written statement form the owner specifying that it was sold used, to avoid problems with customs when my sister brings it home. Please contact me at info@canal.cl or post back to this thread if you prefer.

Any recommendations about stores that sell pre-owned macs in the area are also welcome. Thank You very much.

Well at this point I am finding out first what the market price is for a 15", I think a 17" is too big to lug around comfortably, but of course if the price is really good I could become interested in the 17" model.

By the way it's Vancouber BC, Canada. I got an email from somebody in Vancouver Oregon <sigh>.

Sony VX2000 + Extras for sale
 

Hi all,
Up for sale I have my Sony VX2000 package for sale. I am selling because with my new job I no longer have the time to invest in any serious video projects and I find myself turning towards photography as its easier for me to get up and out alone to shoot. With that said, here is a list of everything included in the package:

Sony VX2000 Camera
Beachtek DXA-4 Dual XLR Adapter
4 Batteries- NP-F750, NP-F550, and 2 NP-F330s
Standard Acessories including:
AC Power Adapter
Remote Control
Memory Stick reader/writer (no stick included)
Sony Shoulder Strap
Small and Llarge Eyecups
Lens Hood
Instruction Manual, Picture Gear Lite 4.1 and Memory stick reader/writer software as well as random documentation
Retail Box

History of camera: I bought this used from a video artist/photographer and it is in terrific shape. He said it was used very little and it showed. I used it myself for 6-7 hours working on a few school projects. All of my shooting was done indoors on a tripod, and this camera is in great shape.

Condition: Everything is in excellent functional condition and works as it should. Cosmetically everything is in great shape. I would say the camera is an easy 9 out of 10. If you are obsessive like me and sit down staring at it you may notice some very light wear, but there are really no noticeable scratches or scuffs. The beachtek has a ring around the bottom as it was mounted on a tripod for a while when I had it- other than that its perfect. Basically, the package is in great shape, I just like to be specific and open when selling.

NOTE on the batteries: One of the NP-F330s holds a charge half way and then drops down. All the others appear to hold a good charge.

I can take some pictures if anyone is interested. I am asking $1850 but feel free to make a reasonable offer. I will consider partial trades for Digital Rebel accessories. You can post here or email me at robsmo at yahoo dot com. You can look me up on Ebay under "compudork" or heatware.com under "robsmo" for references. Thanks!!

Robbie

With the cam being discontinued, and the GS400 coming so soon, that cam isn't gonna pull $900 from an unknown seller on a message board. You'll be able to get it cheaper brand new (and many already have). I'll give you $500 minus the tapes thru paypal. What do ya? say

Firewire SanCubes for sale!
 

Have 2 SanCubes that I'm thinking of selling. They're fairly hard to come by and look dangerously cool.

One's 120gb-ish and the other is 320-ish 4 drive and 6 drive... they are both 4-user boxes.

If anyone's interested I'll get the specs for you as well as some pix. They're at my office otherwise I'd do so now.

They are not the X-Streams.

The drives I have been told are interchangable.

Hi Robbie,

Please tell me if your cam is still available. If so, please tell me if it can do pass-through (DV-in, to use the camera as a "bridge" to allow preview on an external monitor while editing).

Thanks!
