Is the 5" monitor suitable for checking color, focus, white balance, etc.?

I've heard some folks say that the 5" is too small. If not, I might be interested.

Please email when you get a spare moment.

Thanks,

JH

James,
It's going to come down to personal preference really, but that's exactly what I've used it for myself. I've found that the XL1's viewfinder doesn't tend to offer a very precise color representation, and obviously unless you've got the B&W it's almost impossible to get a precise focus except on close-ups. This monitor is one of the "high-res" models, with 450 lines of resolution. I can't think of a time right now when I haven't been able to set my focus confidently because of its size. It's really very crisp.

As far as the size, I can't say I wouldn't mind having a 13" monitor with me on set, but when you weigh the hassle of lugging around something that big every time you go out to shoot something, it becomes (at least for me) somewhat unpractical. (Maybe if I had a crew larger than just myself!) People definitely do it, however, and I guess that works for them - that's why I say ultimately it's a personal preference... They call the 5" models "field monitors" for a reason though!

Hope that helps!

Matt,

I sent you an e-mail with some contact information. Call me or send me a note with your call info.

Thanks

Jay

Doh!

Sorry I missed Mr. Hall's note. I'd be interested in the Sony Field monitor if James does not want it. Sorry about that James..

Jay

Do you still have the Matte Box?

Yes, it is still available.

Jeff, did you get my email?

I just went through my emails and junk mail and I have nothing from you Lee. Sorry. The matte box is still available.

I have a p&s technik mini 35 for sale. I would also consider selling the Canon XL1s that I have used with it. I am actually located at the moment in Southern Spain, but the equipment could be viewed in the UK. It is in "as new" condition, not used much and well cared for. My reason for selling is that I need a set-up that is lighter and smaller. Serious enquiries only to mike@mbluestone.com, and then we could talk by phone.

I have a JVC BR-DV600U I am looking to get rid of if you are interested. It just needs a good head cleaning, other than that it is in perfect condition. 16 months old and I sent it into JVC for a 1 year service before the warranty ran out. The deck has not had much editing time on it at all, I just think JVC played another brand of tape on it when they had it for service (the reason for the dirty heads, I always use sony tapes). but if you are interested, let me know.

Chris

(i just dont own a good head cleaner and I dont want to run one of those dry-tape cleaners through this deck several times as they say they can wear the heads down)

How much do you want for it?

I got it through one of the site's sponsors, Zotz Digital for just under $2000 about a year and a half ago. Since it needs a good head cleaning, I will part with it for $850. The price of a new sr-vs30u.

I just went back and counted and I dont have any more than 7 weddings edited on it and most that use was this year.

Chris

Chris- I'm not familiar with that model- could you give me a few comparative details? Thanks

Rick

Rick, its on the high end of miniDV spectrum. it has many bells and whistles including composite/YC/component inputs/outputs. The details can be found on JVC website:

http://pro.jvc.com/prof/Attributes/tech_desc.jsp?model_id=MDL100040&feature_id=02

It does a lot.

I have the following package for sale:

Canon GL2
Libec M20 Tripod
Kata CCC-102 Case
Canon ZR-1000 zoom remote
Studio 1 XLR-BP Pro
Power 2000 BP-945 extra battery
B+W 58mm UV filter

Everything for 2700.00 plus shipping. Everything is absolutely "like new"
I only used the camera for one wedding. Less than 10 hours on the camera and equipment. The only reason I'm selling is I'm making a major move back out west so I'm needing to downsize my life for a while. If you're interested please e-mail me at mishler@sccoast.net or mmishler@cgp.net

sold

randy

I sent you an e-mail regarding this.

Tim

How much is that in US dollars? Can you give me a link to look at it?

For the Mini-35?

I am UK based and interested.


Dan

I would like to update my previous post to add that I also welcome offers that are reasonable. Please don't send me e-mails such as one I recently got with an offer of 500.00 as that is just a waste of time and e-mail space. I realize I may have to come off of my original price a bit but let's stay within reason...

I am asking for offers in the region of £4000 GBP for the mini 35, including both Nikon & Arri PL mounts and of course the relay lens for Canon XL

<<<-- Originally posted by Don Berube : Still for sale, thinking something like $400 I guess,,, I dunno, what do you think? Let me know if interested. It's all in excellent shape.

Hey Don
Sent you another e-mail about a week ago, did you get it?

I have been wanting a sony vx2000 or a canon gl2 for the longest time and i am suppose to get a gl2 from a friend for 500 but he is taking forever to do it. and i looked for auction, pawn shops,ebay a guy had a friend who worked at a warehouse and could get em but didnt happen and i was wondering if any one knows where i can get a vx2000 or gl2 or gl1 for about 500 and i dont mind if its used.

Won't happen. Not for another 2 or 3 years anyway. You M I G H T get a GL1 with high mileage for $1000.

Your friend won't sell it to you for $500 because that is insane. It's easily worth $1500-$1700.
If you find any of these cameras for that price, then they are broken, or stolen.
You have to take a reality check with your budget here. If I had $500 to spend, I'd look for a used Canon Optura Pi. That might be the best in that price range.

Looking for a lower end Sony camera in the TRV series. Preferably the TRV27 & up.

You could try B&H, videodirect and cameraworld to see if they have any used ones/returns (open box specials). Buydig is another dealer which usually has deals on older cams. With these places, at least you'll get a warranty.

no my friend defientely will he got a xl1s and his parents paid for it so he dont care so im getting it for 500 im getting a good deal

Well, that's a once in a lifetime deal.
Wish I had more friends like that.

Thanks, I never even thought about that.

Your best bet is to go ahead and hold out for his deal, because you definitely won't find a price like that on a legitimate basis.

agreed. on both points.

would you part out just the camera? i have a friend looking to buy a gl1/gl2

I would consider piecing everything out if the price is right. Feel free to make offers...

Hi Matt,
I am interested in the DR5, can you tell me alittle more. and perhaps send a picture. and how many appx hours are on the DV side. Can you fax me a copy of the features page, and does it have LANC control.
How would you say this deck compairs to the JVC dual deck and how compatible is the dv PLAY BACK with tape shot on different
camcorders, like the DSR PD150.
I am prepaired to send you $900 money order and I pay for shipping to me here in alaska.

Please reply to me at my E-mail videoservices@acsalaska.net

Would you be wiling to send include your ph number so I can talk to you direct.

would you be willing to just sell the xl-1s body? thats all im looking for, if so, please email me... thanx
-jake

i am interseted in the xl-1s body alone. if you could post the price you are asking for just that i would be greatful. i have an xl-1 and wish to upgrade to the new body, but am low on cash...

Jake...

If you're interested in buying the body, then I'd be interested in buying the lens.

The school I teach at has several Gitzo video tripods for sale. The head is a model G1380. The legs are 3 sections, aluminum and have spiked tips, with caps, 75mm bowl. I can't make an exact identification of the legs, but proably the G1338. B&H sells just the head for $850 and the kit for $1350, and heads are on ebay for $700 to $750.

I have three for sale at this time, but are subject to pior sale. These were acquired (I don't know if they were donated or given by a business etc.) by the school over the summer. Two look brand new, one has a few marks. We use XL1's that are loaded and we are pushing the limits of the units. I don't want the students to tear these up, so we are purchasing larger units.

The school was hoping for $1,200 each, but I have set a more realistic price of $800 to $900 depending on payment method and shipping etc.

Could i just buy the extra battery off of you? How used is it and how many charges does it have on it. email me back or post here if you could.


gl2boy@curtkay.com


-Kay

How much for the BP-945 battery? how many hours/recharges does it have? Email me back with a price.


gl2boy@curtkay.com

Hey Max...I'm interested in your zoom remote. How much for that? Please email me: fatcatmedia@yahoo.com THANKS!

Jeff, I think the 1338 legs (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=206504&is=REG) are carbon fibre.

My starting offer is 50 for the BP-945 battery if its in a good to new condition. We can definetely haggle for this, I'm just putting a starting offer like you requested.

You are correct, sir. I think maybe G1340 is more accurate, but again I'm not entirely sure. I've not been able to 100% identify the exact model from just pictures and we have no paperwork with the tripods.

I should have updated this listing earlier but I have decided that the only two things I would like to keep with the camera are the extra battery and the Kata bag. Everything is still for sale but I want to package the camera, bp-945 and bag together. As long as I have the GL-2 in my possession I feel like the battery and case are definitely needed. Sorry for any confusion.

Max

damn... D:

Max,

I already own a GL1 and a GL2 and would love to get a third camera.

What's your asking price for the GL2 with battery and Kata bag?


Please consider the following:

If I end up buying the GL2 from you I wouldn't need the extra battery and Kata bag. I have hard cases and four BP945 batteries already.
I think you would have no problem selling these items by themselves since there are many GL owners in the forum who already have asked to buy the items seperately.


Anyway, either way let me know what's your asking price.
