Hey all,

I need a couple starter level fluid head tripods. Posting this to see if anyone has anything that they aren't using. I'm on a fairly tight budget for these, but I realize you get what you pay for. If you have a head, tripod, or set you aren't using. Then let me know what you would take for them. I have 2 dvc30's so I don't need a big head, a used bogen 701rc2 type head would be ideal for my needs. I can get a new 701rc2/3011 combo from b&h for $204 + shipping. To save you all time, I most likely wouldn't be interested in anything that cost more than that.

Also, please don't flood my email with these. I'm sure a lot of people have an old tripod they don't use and I don't want to read 35 emails about this. Please list the brand/model and your price in this thread.

Thanks,
Brandon

hello brandon,

i know the question is, what was first, the chicken or the egg,

but i think the tripod is the most important item. "saving" here will effect everything you do. my 2 cents

greetings

Okay, I know you need good legs and a fluid head, for shooting, but for a smaller light weight camera, you might want to take a look at the Velbon Videomate 607 as a temporary fix. They have a Velbon Vel-Flo 9 PH-368 head on them. I have two of them I bought at Frys for under $80 apiece, and they respond an work pretty well, even with my heavier Sony FX1. The heads move pretty smoothly. I definitely know I will be going to a better tripod in the future but these are not bad for a cheap tripod system.

BH sells them here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&Q=&is=REG&O=productlist&sku=146249

Karl,

I think it must be the egg. Now what kind of cross-breeding had to happen to do this is another question, or you could bring God into it, but I'm sure it was the egg. I know what you're saying Carl, unfortunately I will be going handheld if I don't get a tripod of some kind. If money wasn't an option I might get one of the O'Conner tripods I've heard about.

Chris,

I hope you stop back by and get a chance to read this. Can you take the heads off of your tripod? If so I may try a couple of these. If they aren't what I'm looking for I could replace the heads with something nicer, the whole set is cheaper than the legs I've been pricing. My understanding is that the head basically determines how smooth it pans and tilts, am I right? If so I'm in a win/win situation. By the way I need these to shoot weddings, if that changes anything.


Brandon

Brandon

Actually, the heads are the best part. Feel pretty smooth. The legs are just adequate. I ve used this tripod at various event and weddings, and if you get it set up right, they will do a good job. Don't plan on using the crank to lift to high, it starts to get shakey..


I haven't tried to detach head from legs, I think its intended to be a one piece unit.

Chris,

I will be manning one of the cameras at the weddings, it will come off the tripod at times for some handheld. I may get one of the velbons for my unmanned setup. I think it would do fine just holding a shot while I get creative with the other one and cut between them in post. That way I could go ahead and get a better tripod and work on replacing the velbon in the future. Thanks for the info, I'm not sure what I want to do yet, but your imput is appreciated.

Brandon

The Velbon has a quick release "plate" to go to hand held easily. good night.

Hi Brandon
I have a Bogen 700RC2 head that I used once on my trip to Africa I would sell for $50. It looks brand new except the locking lever is bent a bit, althought still functional. As far as low cost vidoe heads go, its probably one of the better ones. If you are interested I could send you a photo.

I have a superb Vocas (sold by Century ) SD-MB44-00 matte box for sale.
I bought this from a friend , who used it only twice, and unfortunately for me it is too large for my tiny little Sony HDV-A1. I should have purchased the DV mattebox MK11 compact. Very frustrating because this is a superb product, like new with no marks anywhere. IMHO the best matte boxs come from Chrosziel and Vocas. I especially like the Vocas because they come with "eyebrows" on the inside of the hood which act much the same as the sun visor inside your car. This does much to eliminate the need of a french flag. Now if you simply must have a large french flag ,there is slot to attach one as an option. I just returned from Africa with wonerful HDV movies but some of the errors I made were in exposure (easy to do in HDV) so I have done a lot of research on matte boxes. If you are shooting HDV you need a good matte box and this unit is one of the best, far superior to the Formatt , Pertoff, Lee, Cavision etc. I would not recommend this for a smaller camera like my Sony A1, but for Canon, Panasonic units, very nice.
Please use the link below to see the product on the Century website.
http://www.centuryoptics.com/products/dv/matteboxes/dvmb.htm
It sold new for over $950, I only want $400.

Hi,

I'm looking for a single, unified handle to go between my Sony DXC-D35 camera head and Sony PVV3 BetacamSP dockable recorder.

Any forwarded links to where I can buy one would be appreciated as well.

thanks,

I have a Bogen 3130 Head, and Promaster System Pro 3 legs, that I would be willing to part with. The head is basically brand new, the legs are a little older, the center column goes up fine, but sometimes is a pain to get down. But the legs are sturdy, and open and lock fine.

email sent.

You're right it was definitely the egg.

How about the Gitzo 2380 head?

Hey, now that you have sold your dxa-8, howabout selling me your mic and magnifier. :)

I am lowering the price to $220, including shipping in the US.

This is only 40% of the retail price and considerably lower than that auction site as well. :-)

Hey, now that you have sold your dxa-8, howabout selling me your mic and magnifier. :)

Well I already sold the mic and I think I want to keep the magnifier - at least for now. I do have the Mic mount though! Its a Lightwave shotgun mount.

are you switching to FCP?

Vince

No I sold the G5 as well. I got a new desktop and laptop.

Cool... the PC sounds nice at this time I am good with my box. I just got a Seagate 400 gig Ext. HHD ,,,The Dell monitor would be sweet,
did you just get the 30"?

Vince

I just sent you an email..I'll take the set.

Cheers,

This Canon camera has also served me well but I am selling it because I am upgrading. This is the last one in my fleet so if you want a GL2 that's been treated like a newborn baby by me, this is the last chance you get.

Like the previous camera I sold on dvinfo, this one has relatively little wear and tear on its heads, since I use a separate deck to capture video, and I only shoot 6 events a year.

The lens, casing, and all functions of this camera are MINT, this time with no exceptions. The firewire port works, and even the original sticker on the side is still there.

I have kept all of the original brochures, books, cds, cords, etc. A lot of them have never been used, since the sole purpose of this camera was to record video. Camera performs great even in low light (for really dark areas set the shutter to 1/30 sec. and be amazed at what you can see in darkness! )

FOR SALE – DVX102AE – PAL VERSION!!! Like brand new!

Hello,

I am selling my pristine camera, please take a look below for details. Price: $2,499. The shipping is very low, $25 within the US and $30 Internationally. If the shipping turns out to be more than that, I will pay for the extra myself. It can also be picked up in New York City if you live around here.

In short: like brand new, only 47h on the clock. I also own a 35mm complete package, a 16mm camera and various other video cameras - so I know how to take care of precious equipment like that. This item has barely seen the light of day, only shot one short with it. This is truly a bargain, you get a guaranteed like-new product for only a fraction of the price. I have some small bonuses that I will throw in. The PAL DVX is widely recognized as being the best minidv camera on the market.
I am a serious seller, you can check my eBay feedback (where I use my real name also, like on this forum), also I can provide pics on request, and my phone number if you wish to talk to me directly. If interested, contact me directly at my school e-mail: "bga18@columbia.edu". Serious inquires only, please!

For a longer description, please check below:

-----------------------------

This is the advanced (second) model of the popular Panasonic DVX100 camera, and it comes (obviously) with all the enhancements of the “A” version. Since I bought it, the camera has been used for shooting only one short. It is practically in like brand new condition, since it was used only for 47h, in total!!!! It is in a superb condition, practically new. It is still under worldwide warranty that won't finish until June 2006, and it can also be easily extended!

I will also throw in the DVX100 User’s Guide, the Anamorphic Adapter User Guide and many additional charts that I’ve collected (focus and distance, anamorphic and other adapters’ charts, exposure charts and so on). I also replaced the medium-sized original battery with the full-sized CGA-D54 one (5h recording). This battery is brand-new, NEVER used.

I also have great small plasticated charts that you can easily place on the camera while shooting. They translate focus numbers in actual distances (both inches and centimeters!), translate DVX zoom numbers in Academy 35mm motion picture focal length values, ALSO the angle of view at different focal lengths. In addition, based on the DVX "ASA" rating, you can attach a small chart calculating the different ASAs at different gain values (useful when using light meters). Great if you want to be do professional, serious work with it.

One great addition to this camera is a custom follow focus ring that I have built myself specifically for the DVX. It works perfectly, and it can be used with a variety of follow focus units. Personally, I have used it with my Arri 2 Studio follow focus. Obviosuly, the follow focus is not included, only the focus ring, but it's a truly great addition to an already solid camera.

By the way, I have used ONLY Panasonic Master mini-dv tapes with it and I advise the future owner to do the same.

A few additional facts for the one not very familiar with the Pal version:

Besides the well-known features of the NTSC DVX100A camera (Beautiful Leica Lens, New Prism, CineSwitch Technology, XLR Audio Inputs, 7 Cinegamma settings, Slow, Fast and Syncro Shutter Speeds, Color Matrix, Several Knee Adjustments, Interval Recording, Manual Focus, Power Zoom Speed, Six Scene Files etc etc etc…), it has all the PAL benefits as well:

- 20% more resolution (480,000 pixels for PAL as compared to only 410,000 for NTSC)

- No pull-down modes – just straightforward progressive 25p (of course, the camera does interlaced, too).

- The color rendition is twice as good compared to NTSC: 4-2-0 color sampling (same like the HDV codec has) as opposed to the 4-1-1.

Easy to edit in Final Cut Pro or other editing softwares, all PAL shooting scenarios covered. It’s still the best minidv camera available on the market for direct transfer-to-film. Or, transfer to NTSC with JES Deinterlacer or DV Atlantis – incredible quality as far as color and resolution go. I will include the JES Deinterlacer software for free.Feel free to ask me any other questions about the specs. This great camera naturally comes together with all accessories (charger, ac/dc unit, strap, remote etc - all of them). The original documents, too - receipt, warranty card + number, manual.

It is really an amazing item by itself and very rarely to be found at this price, in such a pristine condition.


PRICE: only $2,499. I think it is a bargain for a like-new camera. Thanks and all the best to all of you!

Are you still selling your dsr-11? I may be interested.

I have had several emailed inquiries. As of right now the camera is still for sale.

Thanks --- feel free to ask questions - can send photos.

Kim

Glen, I'll take that DSR-11 off your hands :) :)

No problem that'll be $500...oh but with $1,000 shipping. :)

Have you run premiere pro on the desktop? If so how does it run?

I'm considering selling my DVX100 :( to move up the the B model or to HD. It is in excellent condition and has 64 hours on it. I'll throw in the aluminum carrying case, UV filter, and an extra (brand new) panasonic battery. It has all original accessories (including the remote!). I also have a brand new manfrotto tripod and head which I could include for $250 Canadian ($220 US)more.

I'd sell it for $2650 Canadian/$2300 USD anywhere in Canada/US but MUCH prefer to sell it locally that way you can see it and no shipping costs.

pm or email me if interested

Sounds like a solid computer; I'm curious, though--what have you upgraded to? How are the specs different? And--pardon the ignorance--I assume this older computer was used for editing?

Thanks for the interest in the camera.

SOLD.

Hi Gang,

Considering selling an XL2 with barely any use (I know everybody says that).

But I bought it to shoot a movie, that I'm now going to shoot in hi-def. I used it for some tests and for some high school sports.

Let me know if this price sounds attractive to anyone, I can email pictures, and more info if there is any interest.

Thanks,

Tom Chaney

Have you run premiere pro on the desktop? If so how does it run?


I had Premiere Pro installed but didn't use it much. My primary NLE is Vegas. I can post my render time results with it in Vegas but I don't know if that'll mean anything to anyone who's using another NLE.

Sounds like a solid computer; I'm curious, though--what have you upgraded to? How are the specs different? And--pardon the ignorance--I assume this older computer was used for editing?

I upgraded to a dual-core Pentium D. Vegas is multi-threaded and flys on a dual core...not that the P4 3.0ghz was a slouch. Yes the older computer was used for editing and graphic design.

Glen,

Sent you an email.

camera sold via forum, cheers :)

How much would you want for the mic holder, and maybe the magnifier :) ?

Hi Tom, I just sent you a message.

I'm looking for these products..I can get them online for $150, but I want to check here first to see if somebody would be willing to sell these to me for less than what I can do new....Please e-mail me at: portraitart@mchsi.com

I'm also wondering about the Lenmar batteries...do these need a special adapter plate to be able to charge on the Canon brand a/c charger??

Hi Kim, can you send me photos of the fx1 and stuffs. Email me: jong_cortez@yahoo.com, jongcortez_subicbay@yahoo.com, jong_cortez@gmail.com. Thanks and God bless!

I'm selling my Canon Optura 300. It's about 2 years old, 25 hours of recording time, and in very good condition. A UV filter has always been on the lens. Comes with all original accessories and box. Also included are (3) Lenmar BP-412 Batteries, Lenmar Charger, Fuji 128MB SD Card, and a small camera bag.

Selling all for $420 (shipping included). I accept PayPal.

Tripod sold...

Glen, where id you purchase your system?
Did you have it built?

And if you don't mind me asking, how much, and specs?

Feel free to email me with the details instead of posting it here if you like.

Not a problem to describe it here. I went with a Sony Vaio RC series desktop. It's got similar specs as the computer I'm selling (120gig hd, 1 gig ram, etc) except it's got a Pentium D rather than Pentium 4. The Pentium D is a 3.0ghz Dual-core which helps the rendering in Vegas quite a bit beings it's multi-threaded.

I'm not usually big on buying store bought pre-configured computers (beings you don't know what kind of motherboard, ram, etc is being used) but it seemed like a decent deal, and the friend who usually builds my machines has been busy with 2nd shift work and and two kids. I paid $1,200 for the new machine on sale at Circuit City.

Ah that's right, I remember you mentioning this system in another forum a few months ago.
Is it Liquid Colled, or Fan cooled. I know that Sony had been using Liquid cooled in their newer systems.

Also how does it run in regards to HD and such?
I take it you have the RAM maxed out at 2GB and plentty of storage?
