Think I saw a price of $4500

Provided that I am flying to New York in a couple of weeks I would like to know what is the equipment needed to fit the Letus Extreme on to the EX1 (rode support system, lens mounts, threads etc.)
Is it worth it (pice-wise, quality-wise) to get the Letus kits (and what that should include)
What kind of matte-box would work both on the Letus and straight on the camera lens?

Whoa... :|

$4,500 ... Hummm ...
 

That puts it in the same price range as the Movie tube Jr. and that's a static screen adaptor ... better by far if successful than a moving screen.

Where can I find some reading about the Ultimate? TIA!

saw the movietube jr yesterday. noisy image and really bad bokeh, which they readily admitted to me.

the price of the ultimate hasn't been set as far as i know. its all speculation

currently in threads on DVinfo, oh and my blog a little bit. I hope to get some footage up soon

No mention of price that I can find anywhere except here on Steven Dempsey's blog: http://pinelakefilms.blogspot.com/20...m-adapter.html

If that's even remotely true ($4500) I've just been scared off for a long while.

... tick tock tick tock ...

Ok, so it appears the $4500 is bang on. What a wonder the phone can be. I decided to call over to Oregon at Letus HQ :) and confirmed that the unit would be available in a couple weeks for $4500. Obviously no plans to discontinue the Extreme, their bread and butter model, so there will still be a "Letus for the rest-of-us."

FreshDV has a podcast on the Letus Ultimat with Hien from Letus!
Great stuff..

The Ultimate really is the Ultimate adaptor.. Have GOT to get this at work for the upcoming PDW-700 we're getting. The Ultimate will also be available with a B4 relay lens to put it directly on the B4 mounts.. How cool is that!

for 4500$ this is the killer of all adapters!

For that coin it would want to be...

Ah, the good old Seinfeld days :)

$4500 is still pretty reasonable in terms of adapters. That's half of the movietube LT, and a third of the movietube ST or mini35.

And nearly 4x the Extreme...

3000 for scarlet and 4500 for letus ultimate, im thinking thats my next setup in 2009 :) thats the price of just my EX1 alone!

Nothing quite like a good Seinfeld episode - glad someone caught it :)
