Sony Z1U or FX1
 

As the title states, I'm looking to buy a Z1U or FX1. Cosmetic perfect is not important to me so long as it works properly.

Thanks-
Patrick

if anyone wants pics, email me privately and I'll send them to you.

I've got a Letus FE with Chrosziel rails if you are interested. andrewreyna@gmail.com

Bump and make me an offer.....

Item is SOLD.

Very tempting. Realistically, what's the distance on the unit before it starts to break up? Samson says 300 feet, what's your experience been?

email sent - check your spam (i sent you one the other day, but no response.)

Thanks Jim!

I'm interested!!! sending you a PM

Man I wish I had the funds to buy this. By the way will you consider offers? Just curious because Photo4Less sells these brand new for $267.95.

Thanks

Is this Pelicase still for sale? If yes, will my HVR-S270 fit in it with Body-Armor on?

Overall, as long as you have the squelch adjusted properly, I haven't had any issues with distance. 300 feet I would say is definitely possible.

I have used them in Cathedrals, where I have to film in the rear balcony, which would be, believe it or not, approximately a football field away.

Obviously, you might have some issues here and there with transmission through walls and great distance. But with proper setup, I always perform a frequency sweep before filming, proper micing techniques, and these units being diversity I can't really remember having any drop out issues when using them.

The units have always performed flawlessly for me. Any issues that I might have had, like over modulation because I didn't set my padding properly, were due to, imagine this, user error.

Also, I also was never fond of Velcro mounting of anything, especially wireless units, so I even modified the receivers to take a Sennheiser cold shoe mount. So you can mount the receiver on any hot/cold shoe. This opens up a lot of mounting configurations for you over Velcro mounting, especially on the camera.

Michael,
What's the frequency range on these? I have a Sennhesier G2... how would these interact. or should I stick with Sennheiser. My G2 is "A" channel is the 500s. I need two more, so this would be perfect for me...

Sale pending.

Bill, I believe that these units are in the 800 Mhz range so there is no interference with the A or B class Sennheisers (which BTW I also use the A class G2's).
Actually since the frequency is in the 800's is most likely a reason why I had never had any issues with them, as the 800 Mhz. bandwidth isn't widely populated or used.

As I just posted though, I do have a potential sale pending. So if it doesn't sell for some reason, I'll let you know.
