Yeah...thats what I thought too when Jared sold me one of his 40GB firestores, but its a Pro version all the way. Im not sure if this was simply an upgrade to the software or what, but it works with all the Pro features its supposed to have. I just upgraded mine with the Apple Quicktime(30p only) update so I dont even have to convert the .M2t's for our ENG stuff. I have mine velcroed securely to the back of my IDX batteries, which works amazingly well. I bought the Anton Bauer Power tap to connect the IDX batt's for power, solving the 1 hour battery problem, and a short firewire cable to connect it to the cam. I haven't run a tape through it since.

And Jared is a pleasure to do business with- I got my firestore very quickly!

Peace!

Thanks Ben!
 

Just wanted to say that the transaction with Ben went smooth and the package arrived (albeit a bit late, which i thoroughly blame on the mailing system ugh) - the Dxa-4 was packaged tight and thoroughly and seems to be in good working condition, although i don't have a mic yet to try it :)

Communication with Ben was quick and easy and i wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Thanks again Ben and terrific doing business with you!

Looking for 501 + Sticks
 

Just wanted to put this out there - I'm in the market for a set of sticks for my FX1 and I'd be absolutely open to buying used on here.

Also wanting to establish some sorta criteria - i.e i'm open to paying via cash or cheque if LOCAL - however if you're in the States (which most of you are), i'd prefer to use paypal. (I'm just saying this as someone had wanted me to send cash over regular mail to him.. uh geepers?)

Anyways, if you're selling or are thinking of selling in the new future or are upgrading and wanting to help a noobie filmmaker out, i'd MUCH appreciate a shout out - thanks very much!

Vish

I may be interested in the idx stuff. Let me know if you do sell separately.

how much for mic?

Several buyers have backed out. Now asking $4000.

Vishal,

I don't know if it's out of your budget, but check out the post for "Gitzo G1380 Fluid Head" in this forum. I use the same head for my Z1 and it's absolutely amazing. Worth every penny. I use it with a set of Gitzo 1325 carbon legs, but you can find something else that the head will fit on.

Everyone says take the plunge and spend the money on a good tripod. It will last you forever, and make all your shots better.

The Manfrotto 501 is not bad, but it's nowhere near as good as the Gitzo.

Thanks very much for your response Vito - You're right, unfortunately my budget is no where close to what you're asking - i have no doubt the Gitzo is amazing but at this point in time, unless you're accepting a payment plan hehe, i'll have to continue my quest for the MB 501 :)

Thanks again.

I have a brand-new Bogen 501 head that's never been used that I'd sell for $115.00 USD.

No box (got thrown away).
Bought it for 2nd camera support but never used a 2nd camera. It has never had anything mounted on it, or been mounted to any tripod. It's been sitting on a shelf in my office.

Comes with QR plate and long pan handle.

Shipping extra, and PayPal fees extra (if used).
I usually ship by Global Priority Mail to Canada. Or, if you happen to come down to the Seattle area you could pick it up.

Let me know if interested.

Hey Ken
Sounds tempting for sure - however i was kinda looking for both head+ sticks combo so i won't have to pay double shipping as it can get kinda expensive.. I'll think on it tho...

If anyone else has a 501 + stix, let me know!

Vish

Hi Paul,
I just wanted to post that I received the Epic Housing yesterday evening. It looks great and is in excellent condition. The shipping was very fast and I am very much looking forward to setting up some shots this summer using this piece of gear. Thanks very much.

Cheers.
