I agree with it not being cool to buy and return... I find that 15% restocking fee also to be kind of crappy. I guess if you can't afford several hundred for a short you're not really trying.
I'd say "any means necessary" starts with getting a job and saving some scratch.

Hi, is this belt still available?

I live close to Sommerville, so I could even pick it up with cash.

Thanks, Murph

For Trade: Century Fisheye Adapter for XL1
 

I've had this sitting around since I bought my camera and have never used it other then to see what it did and I've decided I want to get rid of it but would rather trade it then sell it off.

It's the Century Optics VS-FEWA-XL Fisheye Adapter for the XL1(S) camera with a bayonet mount.

Here's a link to it at the BH site:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=154837&is=REG

The lens is in the original packaging as when it came from B&H (even has the BH part number sticker on it) and it is in absolute, 100% mint condition. Guaranteed.

as to what I'm looking for... Good microphone(s), sound stuff, lights, matteboxes, filters, jibs... I'm open to just about anything that is production related but those are the initial things that popped into my head.

email me with suggestions and offers and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks!

selling my sony dcr-pc9
 

Selling my consumer dcr-pc9 sony camera. i have only had a tape dropout with this cam once and it has pretty low hours. no meter, but i'd say no more than 15-20.
comes with battery, charger, and manual if i can find it. this would make a great addition as a DV DECK as it is small and protable, and it does actually rewind/ff/play pretty quickly, all with a touch screen.
i bought this 3 years ago for 1299 am letting it go for 375$ but make offers. i can suppy pics if wanted.
will TRADE for a me66/k6 kit

New poster here. Someone pointed me to this offer. I am interested and don't want to trade or barter. I sent a private email to you as well.

Contact me.

I just thought of this: I will also consider this lens in trade toward part of the price of something... like I said, drop me a line and maybe we can work something out.

Hey Kevin,
I have been looking for a fisheye like that. The only thing I have to trade is a Jib from Studio 1 : http://www.studio1productions.com/dv_jib.htm

I got this jib by returning a camera brace that I bought from them that was past the return date. I offered to pay them a little to get the jib. I thought I might use it...yea right. I have played with it a few times in the studio but never used it on a shoot.

Would you be up for a trade? Maybe my jib plus $50-60? Let me know. Email is jonnystan@charter.net

It would be cheaper and easier to hire someone with their own cam.

Hi Michael,

I sent you email on this.

Thanks,

Eliot

I pointed Philip here and can vouch for him
being on the level.

Frank. Welcome aboard.
You should know that this is a very old thread and the originator of this thread has not replied to anyone in several months.
read everyones reply and you'll know what I mean;0

Thanks for the welome Bernard,

I'm looking for a SkyCrane Jr. or a Glidecam Crane.
They look to be the same crane.

Any leads out there for a used one?

Mark, how much for your time machine??!

<<Perchused in August 2004>>

I'll assume 2003...

So this would be a DVX100, not a DVX100A, right?
