Canon XL-H1 Anton/Accessory Bracket
 

Does not include the actual gold mount plate; this is just the metal bracket with four screws. It mounts to the back and could easily be used for accessories instead of the anton plate. A pigtail for the XL series of batteries is included as well, with about 8" of wire.

$25 shipped

I'd like more critique on the Prompter People Unit as well
 

Thank you Dave for the feedback. Michael... I'd also really appreciate any feedback as I am about to purchase a Broadcast 17 unit and would be helped tremendously with any honest feedback with regard to your experience of the unit.

You can post it here or send it to mas@convention-floor-videos.com

Thank you,

Mario

FS MBP 17, 2.4ghz 4gig, hiRes, 160 gig 7200rpm
 

Looking to sell my MacBook Pro, I just don't use it enough to justify it. We do most of our editing on Window machines and this is a nice little toy but picking up a few more machines for the office in place of this is what we currently need. Purchased it June 18, 2007 from the Mac Store at Easton in Columbus Ohio.

I have the original receipt and all documentation/boxes. I really hate to say it but it has been used mainly to check my email, and a little web surfing. It is in like-new condition and has the Apple Care until 6/27/2010.

2.4 ghz Core 2 Duo
4 gig ram
17" Hi Res Screen (looking great)
160 gig 7200 rpm hard drive (it is great to have the faster drive)
And all the features you would expect on a MBP - lit keyboard, webcam, magnetic power, etc.
I have also upgraded to Leopard and have that box and discs as well.

I paid $3,588.88 at the Apple store
Memory upgrade was $176.44
Leopard was $100

Total $3865.32 minus $300 in rebates at the time = $3565.32 invested.

Looking to get $2500 I will pay paypal fee and reasonable shipping, you pay insurance if you want it.

email todd@videomemoriesinc.com

Thanks,
Todd

People Prompter Telepromper
 

Hello Mario and Shaun,

In time, after I've run through the entire production cycle I could give you better feedback, so my caveat here is this is just my initial impression. Several months ago the Prompter People Broadcast 15 Teleprompter was on my short list. I saw its leading competitor on ebay and other websites but generally felt the Prompter People unit would better meet my needs. I'll assume you've seen the video demos at their site, which should give you a good understanding of the unit.

Even without a manual or documentation, it was easy enough to assemble and I had it up and running within an hour of opening the shipping box. Oh by the way, I followed Dave's advice and bought the dvc Promp software instead of the one suggested by Prompter People. Depending on your need, there are lots of different programs with various bells and whistles - the dvc Promp was perfect for my needs. In fact, I found the dvc Prompt worked fine with my Interlink Remote Point Presenter (remote wireless mouse), allowing the talent to remotely control the scrolling, etc without having a dedicated operator. I even have one button on the wireless remote assigned to "pop-on/pop-off" a big red arrow on the remote operator's screen (allowing the talent to signal the operator). Of course, the laptop can always be controlled locally by the cameraman or prompter operator. Incidentally, my sense is that all teleprompter software that generates variable large bitmap fonts (remember, the software needs to flip the text horizontally) is significant resource load on an average laptop. And while it didn't seem to have a noticeable jitter problem when scrolling text, with a slower computer it would indeed be a problem. In fact, while running the dvc Prompt, my pokey CPU didn't have enough resources left to perform other intensive tasks like web surfing (considerable browser lag, but teleprompting worked fine).

Anyway, the People Prompter monitor is a fairly typical LCD, using the Samsung SyncMaster 515. Just connect it via a cable to the laptop's external connector (VGA 15pin D-Sub) and off you go (assuming your laptop has a dual port monitor - my Dell Inspiron 6000 has a Nvidia chipset). I'm not sure of the f-stop on the acrylic reflector; Dave thought it was about a half-stop which, judging it by eye-ball, seems about right (I suppose I could dig out my Sekonic light meter sometime and check it out). I haven't performed a detailed check to measure distortion but I can't imagine this would be an issue filming in SD. Remember, we're using a teleprompter to record well lighted talent within 20 feet (probably a medium, CU, or ECU shot) so distortion shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you're filming in HD then perhaps you should consider aberration issues:
Aberration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By the way, while the glass is about 12 x 16 inches, the camera lens area is only capturing about a 3-4 inch diameter area - the rest of the acrylic surface is there for the benefit of the talent to read the teleprompter. I found the unit was very easy to read, even as I reduced the font size at a distance of about 14 feet on my initial test - just don't get too close, say 4-5 feet, or the audience will probably detect the talent's eyes moving from side to side while reading the prompter.

Finally, I'm using a 10 pound camera (Canon XL-2) with my existing Bogen 503 tripod. I was a bit concerned since I was pushing the load limit but found once I balanced the unit it wasn't going to be a problem at all. To me, it seems like you have an infinite range of front-back adjustment and tripod seating points to ensure an ideal fulcrum balance. However, I will say that even using the extension block to raise the camera height, I was a bit lower then ideal to fit the cloth hood. Fortunately, I use the Canon TA-100 quick release adapters with my tripods and cameras - so adding the adapter on top of the extender block gave me an extra 1 inch boost to raise my XL-2 camera high enough so the hood opening was properly centered.

Anyway, that's my quickie response. Happy hunting,

Michael

Our company has this teleprompter and have had very good results.

We're using the glass beam splitter since we're shooting with HD, and want to ensure maximum quality throughout. As for chromatic aberration, it's not a problem. Our host is shot against green screen and is composited onto a realistic background. The results are seamless with professionals wondering how we got an outdoor scene to look so good.

Also, the camera is a Sony EX1. All-up weight works out well on the Manfrotto tripod. Of course I make sure it's properly balanced.

Cindy, our host, has had several years of experience working as a TV reporter and said this teleprompter is the clearest and sharpest she's ever seen. Which says a lot since a television station should be able to afford a pretty decent teleprompter system.

Setting it up with a Mac Book Pro is easy enough. The software takes a bit of fiddling to figure out. But after taking a few notes on proper setup it's easy to do again.

Sure beats printing up 17" cue cards. And it gives us the option of rewriting copy on the spot if necessary -- sure beats scribbling changes on the 17" cue cards.

Thanks Michael and Dean. I too come from broadcast television and was just a bit skeptical but wanted to be optimistic. The prompters for rent in my market are generally in questionable quality OR are so old they are kludgy to use in a freelance setting. For under $2000, I'm thinking I can justify a prompter but only if I'm not cursing it. As I'm shooting HD exclusively, perhaps I'll look into both the glass NAD the acrylic beam splitters:glass for studio, acrylic for field (and only when I'm scared to bring the glass).

Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for the recommendation of the aftermarket prompting software.

Thank you Michael & Dean
 

Gentlemen... I realize that people's days are usually quite hectic. I appreciate you both for taking the time to provide these thoughtful replies. They are very helpful.

I'm a guy struggling with the idea of investing part of my money in a teleprompter. I don't usually have money to entertain the notion of purchases like these but realize the value of the investment in a good teleprompter.

I have a Canon XL-H1 and am usually shooting SD but would love the freedom to shoot HD & occasionally HD/Green Screen. Dean's comment about using the glass beam splitter for HD has me a bit concerned only because I will be doing a lot of location shooting and breakage seems to be enough of a concern that the Prompter People site recommends acrylic for productions on the move. Is HD through acrylic a deal killer for either of them?

The final deployment for these videos is not for broadcast but for corporate videos distributed on DVD and for placement on the Internet. Any further feedback is, as always, appreciated.

Thanks again,

Mario Salinas

Rehi Shaun,

Yes indeed, quality-wise this unit definitely meets top standards. The alloy material looks like it belongs on an airplane and removeable parts like the angled bracket that hold the reflector at a 45 degree angle use a super sturdy slotted assembly with two precision wing nuts that firmly hold the reflector assembly in place. My guess is that even if the tripod fell over (shudder the thought) the People Prompter gear would probably survive the fall.

As far as the acrylic reflector goes, my only caveat for field use is to ensure you don't let the surface get scratched. The reflective film is very thin so be sure to protect at least the 3 inch area where the camera lens looks through the reflector.

Regards, Michael

Avid Video Editing Custom Laptop System – Complete Setup!
 

This is an Avid Xpro v.4.6 video editing system running on a custom configured laptop specifically designed to run this software. It runs on Windows XP and is in excellent condition.

It represents an amazing value for someone looking for a total video editing system for about the cost of a decent laptop.

The system is ideal for any independent filmmaker, student, small company, hobbyist, or non-profit looking to for a startup editing system at well below market rate.

The Xpro suite also includes DVDit authoring software by Sonic,
Boris Graffiti LT, Soreneson Squeeze for compressing video on the web, and Nero cd/dvd burning software.

It includes all original software discs and original manuals.

It also includes all the backup software for the laptop.

This editing system was originally configured and sold by DVLine, a Colorado company which was an authorized Avid dealer for many years.

The laptop features a 3.07 gHz processor running Windows XP, and is manufactured by Prostar, who designed it to DVLine's specifications. It has a 15.5 inch screen, a 60GB system drive, and an additional 60 gb internal drive for media storage.

Prostar is a highly reputatble US company which has been in business for fifteen years, and is located at prostar.com

As well, the system features a PCMCIA firewire card for attaching additional firewire drives for media storage. There is also one additional empty PCMCIA slot.

It also features a removable mp3 player, which when inserted into the laptop serves as an SD card slot. And it includes the power charger and a carrying case.

The plastic casing on the USB dongle is slightly bent, so I taped it up, and it is in perfect functioning condition. The system battery has also run out, and doesn't work. When it ran out, I never replaced it, as I only used it in my home studio.

I am the original and only owner of the system, and have edited many programs broadcast on national television on this system. Because I now have a much larger HD suite, I no longer have need of this system.

Again, this setup, which originally sold for $4000 almost five years ago, is perfect for someone looking for a total video editing system for about the the cost of a decent laptop.

Please note – this is NOT the academic version of the software. It is the full Avid package.

Asking $900 plus paypal & s&h.

Glidecam 4000
 

I will come right out with it, I am a wus and going as light as possible so just purchased a Steadicam Merlin for the stripped down A1.

This unit is like new, I did had a small piece of hardwood (painted black) to put on the quick release unit, making this unit able to quickly go from glidecam 4000 to tripod, and back. If I were adding any accessories, or a little younger would never be selling this.

Here is what comes with it.

Glidecam | 4000 PRO Camcorder Stabilizing System | GL4000 | B&H
mcorder_Stabilizing.html
Bogen / Manfrotto | 501PLONG Quick Release Video | 501PLONG
1PLONG_Quick_Release_Video.html
Bogen / Manfrotto | 577 Quick Release Adapter Assembly | 577
ck_Release_Adapter.html

Has one plate and that is the LONG plate.

Works great for switching from glidecam to tripod

Will sell it all shipped for $350.00

If you don't need the quick release setup, let me know will shave some off
the price.

SD Monitor: Sony FX820 DVD Player
 

I just ordered an HD monitor, so I'm selling my portable DVD player 8" Sony monitor. Just use the composite A/V input for better focusing than possible on even a modern 3" LCD. Email me an offer. PayPal only.

Pix here:
Kit: http://tinyurl.com/5eqkq3
Front cover: http://tinyurl.com/63kz87

Slightly used. The main picture taken just before packing is the unit playing a DVD. All accessories present (remote control unopened, car adapter unopened). Black color scheme. I used this as a focusing external monitor for my camcorder using the composite video input. Very cool feature ! This same input will take video output of portable game machines or digital cameras as well. Also, the swivel screen is useful for those using a 35mm video adapter to deal with the inverted image. I compared all of the portable DVD players out there, and this is by far the sharpest 8" screen available. I'm now waiting for a much larger HDTV monitor. Shallow scratch on front cover. Note: this plastic scratches easily.
