Try looking for a JVC GY-DV300U. It's an excellent three 1/3" chip camera, that can be found in that price range. I haven't seen many for sale lately, but with a little patience you can probably find one.

$1500 shipped, it's gotta go.

Any takers?

Adding: Canon FD 50mm 1.4 Manual Lens to the deal.

do you have a lanc controller on sale by any chance?

No, I guess that's the only item I have not for sale. Sorry.

FS Bogen 3046 Tripod LEGS ONLY
 

I believe this is an older model unit. it is a ONE stage deal. It is in decent condition, it works fine. I just want to reduce weight, and am going with
smaller Bogens. $105 shipped withiin USA only. Google checkout preferred plus 2%. This does NOT include a head.

FS: nNovia 120g QCHD w/ canon mount
 

Selling an almost new nNovia drive w/ small camera mount that works with canon BP series batteries.

The drive holds 9 hours of DV or HDV footage, records as AVI, MOV, MXF (OP1A) and M2T. Formats as FAT32 OR NTFS.

The mount enables you to mount under your camera (I actually mounted it to on the back of my XLH1), and uses a canon BP series battery to power the drive.

I used these for 1 project, captured a total of just over 2 hours of footage on it. Worked great, only took about 35 minutes to import all the HDV footage into my Avid. The mount and battery worked great, a single BP950 battery powered the unit for 3 hours of shooting and 35 mins of importing and still showed as being 75% charged (so I would think you can get through an entire day of shooting on 1 battery).

I am only selling because it seems for my workflow (thanks to Avid having to transcode HDV to be able to export) it's just easier for me to down-convert from tape to DV to work with.

nNovia sells these together as a bundle for $1225 + shipping. I'd sell both (w/ AC adapter, manual, in original boxes) including U.S. shipping and paypal fees for $1100.

I would consider selling separate if 2 buyers step up. If I could find a local buyer who could pick up and pay cash, I'll knock the price down a bit.

FS: Canadian sale of Raynox/Cavision/Kata
 

I’m selling these items because the Brevis is not coming off the camera! The lens/step-up ring/hood and Kata were purchased in February 2008 from B&H. The Brevis rig can’t fit in the Kata and I’m not disassembling it to make it fit.

This should be of particular interest to buyers in Canada. Since B&H is way less than most Canadian retailers, even after shipping/brokerage and the mandatory PST/GST, we most times come away with a pretty good deal.
Obviously, my stuff won’t include those extra costs and the shipping via Canada Post will be substantially less. Buyer pays shipping. Cheques are fine, I’ll ship when they clear.

Raynox DCR-6600Pro, 52mm 0.66x, Wide Angle Lens...$150
General Brand 43mm-52mm Step-Up Ring (Lens to Filter)...free if you buy above lens.
Cavision LH-77 Lens Hood for 77mm OD Lenses....$30
Kata T-214 GDC Torso-Pack Sling Case - for SLR Camera or Camcorder with Accessories (Black)...$85

email me if you’re interested and remove the spaces of course. :) c y n b a r a t g m a i l dot com.

FS: Pro Kessler Crane-Turret Head-Tripod-Dolly Package
 

For sale is my complete Kessler Crane/Camera Turret package. I am the original owner of all of this equipment.

Everything listed here is in superb condition, with only very minor marks mainly on where the mounting points for the camera and other equipment are located.
Operationally it is all in perfect condition.

This setup was used for indoor filming of bands for a live TV show in Seattle. I am leaving the production company that I was working with, and focusing more on other projects, hence the reason for selling this equipment.

The package below is everything a DP or Producer would need to realize fantastic aerial, moving, ground-level and/or tabletop shots.
This equipment is top-level pro equipment, used by many professional producers and videographers.

Before we get to the details, here is the pricing/shipping information.
All of the equipment below cost in excess of $3,100.
I am asking $2,500 for the entire package, including shipping to CONUS.
Keep in mind that this will be shipped in 3 large boxes, and shipping alone is going to be around $200.
Payment by check or money order is highly preferred, and I will give serious buyers complete contact info for myself should there be any hesitation.
Paypal will be accepted, but I will split the fees with you.

Thanks, in advance, for looking!!

-Ken

FS: FP24 (Same as mixPre)
 

$500 plus shipping.

marstaton4@hotmail.com

I've had a few inquiries as to whether I would part this package out.
My initial thought is "sure", but I would prefer to have someone take the crane package first, along with the crane accessories (extended weight bar, rear control center and Hercules head), as those components work together and wouldn't be much of interest to anyone separately, unless they already owned a Kessler Crane.

So if there's interest in the components mentioned above as a package let me know and we can talk.

I haven't given a whole lot of thought as to individual prices at this point but where there's a will there's a way.

Thanks for the interest!!

Lower Price
 

New lowered price $899 CONUS.

How's the footage of this compared to the Canon WD-H72?

Just sent you email through the forum...

Honestly I have no idea. I've never shot with the WD-H72. It's great for a wide angle adapter however.

Eric, I got a bounced email back from you. 16x9 labeled this lens for the Sony cams but I'm sure it would work for any 72mm thread camera.
