XL2 Rental at DVinfo.net

Mark Grgurev · July 27th, 2004, 10:45 PM

Does anyone know of a place near the New Jersey area that I'll be able to rent the Xl2? Does B&H rent?

Our sponsor ZGC will know who rents in the NJ area, although you're still about five weeks too early.

Well, I don't mean to hi-jack your thread, so I hope you don't mind if I post this. I just didn't want to start another thread with the same subject.

I am looking to rent an XL2 sometime in October. I'm about an hour south of Nasvhille. If anyone has any info on a place in Nasvhille I could possibly rent an XL2, that would help me out as well.

showcase in atlanta, they should have it in by then and might have a rental.

Daniel Broadway · August 1st, 2004, 02:45 PM

Thanks Michel. Do you think they will upgrade to the XL2? Also, the film I want to use this camera for is a college project.

Do you think they might give me a rental discount since I am a student?

Daniel. I have been dealing with Showcase in Atlanta, GA for over 14 years. Beleive me, you can trust them. They are really professionals in the video world. Call them and ask for anyone in video, they are all pros. Bob Safay

Daniel:

Like Bob says they are pros and when I lived there all of my dealings with them were great. They gave some great deals as well but beyond that nice, knowledgable and very fair...

Oh, it's not that I am worried about them. I just wonder if they will be upgrading to the XL2. It doesn't say anything about it on the site.

And I was just curious if they might cut me a break with a student discount on rentals.

But yeah, I'm sure they are quite trustworthy. I might give them a call. My film is VERY visual effects heavy. That being the case, I really want to shoot progressively and in 16:9.

Too bad I don't know anyone from DVinfo in the Nashville area that might lend me a hand, ha ha.

I work at WAFF Channel 48 news in Huntsville, Alabama, and we have a DVX, but I don't think they will let me use it to film a student project.

<< I just wonder if they will be upgrading to the XL2 >>

Pick up the phone, call them and ask. And then please let us know what you find out. Thanks,

Daniel Broadway · August 1st, 2004, 07:00 PM

I will Chris, and I'll let you know what I find out.

I live in Nashville and own an XL-2. I would also be willing to rent it out. Let me know if you are interested. October is wide open for me right now. Thanks.
