Sold, thanks.

Do you seriously mean that buying the "name brands" (ie. Steadicam) is a waste of money?

Do you seriously mean that buying the "name brands" (ie. Steadicam) is a waste of money?

ahhh.. yes.

Actually wait! Let me rephrase that.. that was too loose ended (don't want to start a fight with the f-boys). Tiffen makes a GREAT product, there's no doubt about that; and if you have an extra two grand or so to throw away, by all means go for it! But if you want something as equally impressive (that gets the job done), but doesn't carry the "Steadicam" moniker, then you can get that at a fraction of the price from competitive makers, like VZ. And purchasing good used equipment like I have posted is a very smart move.

...(don't want to start a fight with the f-boys). Tiffen makes a GREAT product, there's no doubt about that; and if you have an extra two grand or so to throw away, by all means go for it! ...

And yet again you say that money is being thrown away...

There's certainly nothing wrong with saving money. But let's not say that this is an apples to apples comparison!

Frank there is no need to go there.. Regardless of how you feel, I believe its a waste of money.. I have flown everything from Steadicam to Sachtler to MK-V (AR included). I think they are all great products but to compare the Pilot or the Flyer with the Aviator is a very valid, more than valid, comparison.. apples to apples.

The standard vest that comes with the flyer is worse than what VZ gives standard with the aviator. And the rest of the system (accept for a side mounting arm) are essentially THE SAME! (Can you honestly say otherwise?)

Actually if i'm gonna spend "Steadicam" money I'd rather get something more worthy.. I prefer Sachtler's Artemis DV PRO system. I like the back mount vests (similar to MK-V) and the innovative arm; the build quality is also excellent.. but like everything else.. in the end I can get the same footage just as well at a cheaper price (and yeah it doesn't look as pretty.. big deal).

I have a Red One #5721 new in Jan 09 for sale as a kit or individual parts. The gear is new and only used for testing. The workflow is not working for me so I am going to stay XDCAM. This is a great kit with the new Birger Engineering lens mount that uses Canon EF-L lens which three new lenses are included. Please only people who are interested in buying contact me. It will move quickly and I just wanted to give DVinfo.net readers the chance to buy a great Red One package. You pay shipping and if you use paypal you pay that fee also the deal is too good. For individual gear it will be 8-10% off depending on the gear.

Sold

thank you

Michael, I have no problem at all with you expressing your opinions as such. It's when they take on an air of "fact" that I take exception.

You inadvertently slam everyone who believes that the "brand names" are in fact worth the money, and that buying rigs such as you are selling, while not bad products, are certainly less-than full-featured.

You can say that you believe it is a waste of money, or that people are throwing money away, but I know an awful lot of people who will take you to task, and will show you point-by-point why the "brand names" are very much worth every penny spent on them.

I'm not saying that the rig you are selling is bad, but I am saying that I believe that there are much better products out there for the people willing to invest in them.

I am leaving for assignment to Chile for a month so this is off the market till my return, unless someone wants to low ball me right now!

I am saying that I believe that there are much better products out there for the people willing to invest in them.

Its the "Much" part that is up for debate here. Neither am I arguing that other rigs are (subjectively) better equipped. However.. then can you say I won my (now 12) CEA's with a sub-par rig then in your opinion - therefore in the end, the results from this product looks as good as anyone else's using a more expensive rig.. thus my point (Why spend the extra cash). Hey go get yourself a MK-V rig and enjoy! (seriously if you have the cash for an AR go for it - but don't cry when you've spent too much on business expenses)

Anyway.. (so far off topic.. sheesh) - the rig is SOLD! Thank you DVinfo!

do you still have them? What is the make and model? Thanks.

You inadvertently slam everyone who believes that the "brand names" are in fact worth the money

How is that? You're slamming Michael for expressing his opinion of the gear HE is selling, not you
Everyone has their own. Respect others for theirs.

First of all, if you don't like what he's selling, don't buy it. Simple.

Second of all, take it offline if it bothers you so much. Comments like yours have no business in this thread whatsoever.

There appears to be absolutely no point to your public oratory other than to air out some personal problems you have with Michael's opinion.


.....but I am saying that I believe that there are much better products out there for the people willing to invest in them.

So? Your point is what? What does that comment have to do with the sale of Michael's gear in this thread? Nothing.

For what it's worth, Les is a great person to do business with. Have bought from him in the past and would buy again.

-Ken

AMEN AMEN - Thanks Ken! Much appreciated!

1. SONY Z1U HDV CAMCORDER (Z1U_A), SN 1110733, with AC VO850 AC Adaptor/Charger, component a/v cable, composite A/V cable, RMT 841 Remote Commander, x1 NP-F570 + x2 NP-F970 Lithium Ion batteries, Tiffen 72mm Haze UV filter, original box.

Overall in excellent physical and operational condition – I am the 1st and only owner, and this was mostly a 2nd camera for when I’d use x2 Z1Us. Batteries are used, but still good. Never used as a deck, as I’ve got one (or two.)

There are O hrs. on the meters due to reset by Sony tech w/ replacement of x3 circuit boards at Sony Service Center in August, 2008, to the tune of $1,091, due to a damaged battery. It has been used only once, briefly, since, as I’m shooting more w/ the Z7U, EX-1, or PDW-350, and don’t shoot all the time as it is anyway. As I remember, there were about 160 hrs. on the Operations meter (16x10) when I checked early July, shortly prior to the board damage, so quite low hrs.; the camera performs perfectly, and is cosmetically in very good to excellent condition. There is a copy of the repair work for the new owner.

Selling both my Z1Us as I am just not using them anymore. It’s been a terrific camera, and has lots, if not most of its life left. I’ve always used the Panasonic AY-DVM63AMQ stock w/ great results, and include a couple to get you rolling in the right direction…

If you are local I encourage to contact and come check out the camera.
$2,440 + shipping.


2. SONY Z1U HDV CAMCORDER (Z1U_B), SN 1119946, with AC VO850 AC Adaptor/Charger, composite A/V cable, RMT 841 Remote Commander, x1 NP-F570 + x2 NP-F970 Lithium Ion batteries, Tiffen 72mm UV Protector.

No printed English Owners Manual (mais bien en Francais!); it’s readily available for download online here:
http://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/files/micro/hdv/manuals/hvr-z1u.pdf

And no component a/v cable, but also readily available from your local dealer or a number of online retailers, including:

Overall in very good to excellent condition - I am the 1st and only owner. Batteries are used, but still good. Never damaged, and never used as a deck, as I’ve got one (or two.)


HOURS: OPERATION = 27x10
DRUM RUN = 16x10

5. Kona 2 PCI-X capture card with the Aja KBox for use with your Final Cut Pro system, in perfect physical and working condition, barely used at all. If you’re looking at this, you probably know of the Kona 2’s capabilities; if you’d like more info, here’s a link to a review of it:

The KBox greatly facilitates all of your I/O connections. The small 19” rack you see is not included, but available to the buyer for an additional $35. This does include SW discs (though there might be more recent drivers), cables, and orig. box. The Kona 2 + KBox originally cost $2,400 new, but are now priced for quick sale at $800 + shipping.

I don't really think this is an issue of integrity, just whether or not debate over personal opinion belongs in a classified thread. Where we have to be careful is when products are being misrepresented, as this may be unfair to potential buyers. Caveat emptor is always going to be in effect of course; it's up to the buyer to do the research and decide whether one rig is better than another rather than just take the seller's claims at face value.

That said (and since the sale is a done thing), I do feel that Michael's pitch is overly pointed. Claims that one is simply paying for a brand name (and "wasting" or "throwing away" their money) if they were to purchase a Steadicam product are simply not true. There are specific and patented advances under the Steadicam name that have not been equalled by any of the competition in the small stabilizer market. Case in point; the Pilot and Flyer arms incorporate a design principle that makes them far smoother than any other in their class. They require less force to hold at either end of their range and they track more linearly, which will in most cases deliver smoother results. Additionally (and this is not exclusive to the Steadicam models, but it is not incorporated in the Aviator) the dual-axis adjustment at the socket block allows the operator to adjust the pitch of the rig to his/her body which improves form and comfort.

I have seen and tested the VZ products at trade shows and they are decently constructed, but I do not believe them to be as sophisticated and ultimately, high-performing as the Steadicam brand in the most critical aspect. However, it is entirely possible to get great footage out of an Aviator. It all depends on the operator. I have tried many different small format rigs and while I can suffer through the shortcomings and still make shots, it can by and large be a frustrating experience. The mark of a good stabilizer is that it virtually disappears, allowing one to simply aim the camera as an extension of one's own body. Many of the lesser rigs feel like a struggle along the way, and the performance of the arm is a major component.

In the interest of disclosure, I do in fact have some issues with certain aspects of the Steadicam rigs themselves, which I have duly noted in the past (read my Pilot review in the articles section of this site) but they do not specifically relate to the actual flying experience, more about configuration and setup. And lest I be dubbed an "f-boy", my full-size rig has not one piece of Steadicam brand gear onboard, although I do have a Flyer arm and Provid gimbal on my running rig.
