FS: Slightly used VX2100
 

Hello everyone, I am selling my almost brand new VX2100 camcorder with all the accessories and original box. I mainly used it as back-up for my PD170. I shoot about 5 weddings and 3 Birthdays with it. Yes, it's low hours, I am not a full time videographer. It wasn't used as a deck since I have a cheap TRV25 as a deck. I'm gonna be upgrading to HD soon and I will sell my PD170 later. Most of the accessories, if not all, have never used at all. I bought it at B&H last August 17, 2004 at $2,349.95. I am selling it for $1800 plus shipping. I accept Paypal or Money Order. I am a verified paypal holder and 100% Feedback at Ebay with an ID junprostar. For a buyer that can pick up at my place, I will include a free Bogen Tripod with 501 head and tripod soft case. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Thank you.

Marcus,
Do you custom make Rod support systems and if you do, how much can you make one for, and what will the features of the rod support be?

I'll trade you for my DVX100a. I just need to see a picture first.

If you can't sell it I'll trade you just the Z1 it'self for my dvx100a.

Eniola, sorry, I have yet to make my first rod system and I doubt if I could make it as a profitable business. I am a good DIY guy, but I don't have the facilities for quantity manufacturing.

Sarena, the rods are smaller than 5/8" and I'm guessing that they are within the tolerance of 15mm rod systems. These things all seem to work on friction clamps, so a bit of play is an assumption in all their designs. Regardless, I would love the opportunity to try a device that mounts on 15mm rods but they are all too expensive. Even a simple lens support is about $100.

Dean, aloha bruddah! I've seen many bits of your show on OC16 (I get squirrely during the actual catch). Hey, I just realized that there are no squirrels in Hawaii, so that reference may be totally useless here! For everyone else, it is a VERY well-produced local show. It is far more interesting than any other fishing show I saw on the mainland. Considering that the whole state of Hawaii is a smaller viewing market than most major cities, this show is done surprisingly well on what must equal a shoestring budget for any other market. If I wasn't a bit squeamish about fishing, I would probably be hitting you up for a job! :) Anyway, the rods are at Fiberglass Hawaii off of Dillingham if you are interested. If they are .08mm too large, I'm sure they will fit any 15mm accessories. If they are a tiny bit too large, a quick swipe of some 400grit sandpaper should do the trick.

For everyone, I just compared these carbon rods to 5/8" wood dowels and they are a hair smaller. I wish I had the calipers that Dean mentions, but I'll send my 16" leftovers to someone for free if you can test them with 15mm rod system components and give me your results.

How much for just the 501 head? That's quite a bonus for saving money on shipping! :) I want to go to a standard head for my tripod, monopon, and future DIY jib. The 501 seems to have what I want as there is a monopod mount for the same plate the 501 uses. Once I settle on a tripod head, I can buy the shoe mounts with the same plate. I've used the 501 and it seems just fine for me. I probably wouldn't need the sticks so shipping to Hawaii via USPS shouldn't be too expensive for just the head. Just for the sake of curiosity, what model number are the legs?

Hi Marcus...

Thanks so much for the generous comments of our show. We're always working to make it better. We try to avoid showing "batting practice" at the back of the boat or too much of the messy stuff, and concentrate on people having a good time. For us what makes the difference is the people who are participating, more than the act of fishing itself.

And, yes, it's a shoestring budget. Our credit list consists of three names. All three of us shoot, including the host of the show -- who doubles as the show's writer. Two of us edit. I do the website. Another one is the expert in the business of broadcasting, etc. But so far we're paying our bills so we're counting our blessings!

Regarding the rods, I used similar rods to make three-pronged and four-pronged pole spears. So I can attest that, yes, these things are pretty light and darn stiff! If anyone needs to make them stiffer, it's a simple matter of filling them with a mix of epoxy and milled fibers or microballoons.

There are different sizes. The last one I got, which might have actually come from a different supplier, is just a shade under 16mm in diameter. I can stop by Fiberglass Hawaii this week with a pair of calipers to measure what's there if anyone's interested.

And I know Fiberglass Hawaii all too well. I've gone there to get supplies for boat repairs and a bunch of other things regarding epoxies and related supplies.

Canadians?
 

Are there any Canadians (preferably in Ontario or Quebec) that would be interested?

I would prefer to do the trade in person and I am able to drive wherever needed.

Thanks!

Hi Andy,

I don't live in Quebec, but the trade still interests me. Unfortunately, I honestly have no idea how much extra cash to offer. I know that altogether my GL2 (with the batteries, case, and wide angle lens) is probably worth about $1750, but I'm not sure how much a used XL1s is worth. Maybe if you could e-mail me a general range you were looking at, I could tell you if it was possible for me to meet your expectations for the trade.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks, let me know when you decide!

My Z1 for your HC1 + cash or trade
 

Sony HVR-Z1 purchased new November 2005. Less than 2 hours of shooting, less than 4 hours of playback.

Absolutely like new, with all packaging and manuals.

Interested - Is it still for SALE?
 

Definitely interested however your craigslist post has expired. Would like to see the product before I buy.

Interested in your PAL DVX100.

want to trade xl1s(PAL) for run and gun
 

Canon XL1s for trade or sale

I bought this camera 4 months ago - second hand from a person who intended to get into wedding video production but never got round to it. He said that the camera had less than 10 hours usage and the condition of the camera testifies to this, its in immaculate condition. Also the fact that he had no XLR adapter indicated to me he was not a serious user and thought I got myself a bargain. I bought this camera for 2500 euro with a six month warranty (have ppwk). Also included are two long life bp-45 batteries(and 2 standard), a Lowe Pro bag, a shoulder mount (seen some usage but very handy) and headphones. also a ma100 (bought here)
Also because its still under warranty I sent it to Canon to ensure that it is finely tuned and ready to shoot and have just got it back (I will include the paperwork). I myself have used the camera for under an hour to shoot test footage on my tripod and although have not used it cleaned it regulary to ensure it is kept perfect.
Why am i selling it ? Because I did not research properly the type of camera I needed . The Canon produces excellent results but is not the best camera in situation where not being noticed is important- I need something smaller and less pro looking.This is the situation - I also have Manfrotto tripod with 501 head - this too I have hardly used and bought it brand new about 3 months ago. I want to trade or sell these for a more mobile camera .i.e a Sony of some sort- anybody interested?- I will send pictures upon request - thanks barry

Perry, you can check it out anytime. Give me a call if you'd like to drop by..

Still looking... in a position to buy immediately. I would prefer to pick it up, I am willing to drive a reasonable distance... Anyone from NY, DE, NJ, PA, MD, VA? I would prefer to meet halfway, but whatever works. Anyone know any stores in philadelphia or NYC that would be selling a used PD150?

Sorry about the delay rob, the pics are sending right now.

Patrick

What extras do you have for it and would you be willing to sell them separately?

Rick was great to deal with on the sale of my XL2 and other gear. I received the payment quickly as promised and all correspondence over the phone and email happened in a timely and efficient manner.

Check your email, Todd.

I bought Derek's XL2 and received it very well packed and in excellent condition. Don't hesitate dealing with Derek. Everything was 1st rate!

Kodak Cinematography Masterclass - Set of 8 Videos - Rare! - Set of 8 VHS Videos for Professional Filmakers, Photographers, Directors and Cinematographers!

A RARE, RARE CINEMATOGRAPHIC ITEM!
The Kodak Cinematography Master Class Series

Best Selling Series!

This unique series, sponsored by the KODAK Worldwide Student Program, has great value to both students and working cinematographers. Nine of the world's finest cinematographers share their wealth of experience in a workshop setting, as they guide you through a series of professional lighting problems both in the studio and on location. 3-D computer animations are used to vividly illustrate the approaches used to solving them.


**Kodak: Shooting For Realism With Allen Daviau & Sacha Vierny

Allan Daviau ( E.T., The Color Purple, Empire Of The Sun ) and Sacha Vierny ( Hiroshima mon Amour; The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Prospero's Books ) are given the same script and set. Daviau creates a series of intricate setups, clearly explaining each problem he encounters and the solutions he finds by using filters, lights and F-stops changes. Vierny experiments with a simple and elegant camera move that encompasses much of the action but presents him with a new challenge: hiding the dolly track. Computer graphics of the lighting setups as well as side-by-side comparisons of the finished scenes help you to better understand the techniques and appreciate the results.

**Kodak: Shooting For Drama With Robby Muller & Peter James

Robby Muller's credits include Repo Man, Paris Texas, To Live and Die in L.A., Peter James Shot Alive!, Rich in Love and Driving Miss Daisy. Both were given the same script and set constraints. The beautiful images they created reflect their different backgrounds and philosophies on the art the business of filmmaking. Muller creates a moody and impressionistic feel that is characteristic of his approach. James on the other hand neatly sidesteps the problems caused by cyc too close to the set and creates a wider view of the windswept dusty cafe. Both men prove to be generous teachers, sharing many creative and technical insights that come from years behind the camera. The video culminates with a split screen comparisons of each cinematographer's finished piece.

**Kodak: Shooting For Black & White With Allen Daviau & Denis Lenoir

Allen Daviau ( The Falcon and The Snowman, Avalon, Bugsy, Twilight Zone, The Color Purple ) takes students back to the golden age of cinematography - the 1920's. He painstakingly recreates the shooting style by employing the filtration, vignetting, aspect ratios and shot coverage of the period. In doing so he evokes the spirit and dynamic of the B&W silent screen masterpieces. Denis Lenoir ( Monsieur Hire, Daddy Nostalgie / These Fooling Things, Paris Awakes Shuttlecock ) creates an intriguing comparison to the work of Daviau by using modern cinematic techniques featuring a moving camera. He shoots with both color and B&W stock to make the comparison complete.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS As well as being a storehouse of practical information, this program is an ode to the haunting beauty of black and white cinematography and a wonderful essay on the changing art of the cinematographer from the 1920's to the present day.

55 min.

**Kodak: Location Lighting with Geoff Burton

Location lighting, utilizing the equipment one truck can carry, is the most common task a young cinematographer will face. Geoff Burton ( The Year My Voice Broke, Flirting, Wide Sargasso Sea ) condenses his many years of location lighting experience in this highly practical and useful workshop. Geoff's approach emphasizes maximum use of natural lighting resources ( daylight and practical ) and imitating these sources with the light he adds. Geoff shows how to work with the limitations of locations space and design ( in this case three rooms of a cramped apartment ) rather than against them. He demonstrates how fast stocks and fast work can be critical to success.

59 min.


**Kodak: Shooting For Fantasy With Sacha Vierney & Denis Lenoir

French cinematographer Denis Lenoir ( Monsieur Hire, Paris Awakes, Shuttlecock Zone ) and Sacha Vierny ( Hiroshima Mon, Amour, Prospero's Books, Stavisky ) explorethe world of cinematic fantasy and magic. Vierny generously shares one of his special secrets, shoeing how to create a magical beam of light without the usual need for a smoked filled room. The effect is electric. Lenoir takes you through each step of his lighting design and also gives invaluable information about the use of fluorescent lights. This program explores the techniques that make magic on the screen, but more importantly the cinematographer's creative thought process behind the magic.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Lenoir demonstrates the ability of one special effect to hide another and how to combine several effects to create magic.

Angles for drama, fireside etc etc.. the set is great for all cameramen and filmmakers.. read online about these with the inks below

I'll trade you all the run and gun I got... where are you located? I'll include shipping.

Bought Motion 1.0 today
 

I found it on ebay and snapped it up. However, if you go to the Apple store online, they do not even have Motion 2.0 anywhere. I called them and asked about it and they were absolutely mystified. They had no explanation at all. Anyway, not cool. I doubt they are out of M 2.0, so why pull it? Beats me. Pretty soon, we'll all be editing our stuff on ipods.

based in Dublin
 

Hi there,
I am based in Dublin, Ireland so anything I need will have to be PAL. What have you got in mind?
thanks
Barry

Interesting.... I just looked at the Apple store and you can't buy FCP by itself anymore either. I suspect that Dennis is correct in saying that Apple is no longer going to sell the FC Studio components separately anymore:

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost....37&postcount=8

In the meantime thought, I'll bet there are other vendors like MacMall, MacWarehouse, etc. who will still provide it while inventory lasts....

hi, this may be a shot in the dark but you wouldn't happen to want to trade + cash for a very very well maintained vx2000 + cash would ya? Or do you want to stay in HD? Lem know

Thanks

Price lowered to $599.

Save $100 on a lens with 10 minutes of use & I'll still pay shipping (within the U.S.).

Looking to sell the following package.

DVX100 original (not the A or B model) (US NTSC)
Century Optics .7X Wide Angle Adapter
Panasonic "DV Cinema" branded Kata soft case
3 additional 3100mAh batteries (one PowMax, two DVXuser)

Additionally, all original items, packaging and documentation is included. This includes the remote, original 1600mAh Panasonic battery, AC Adapter, users' guide, etc..

Very low hours - 36!!! 8)

Camera was never used as a deck. Not long after purchase, it was moved to a B camera status when I purchased a DVX100A and usage was very minimal and it's just been sitting around seeing maybe an hour of use every month or so. Great camera and works perfectly. Only Panasonic AY-DVM63MQ tapes were used in this camera.

Camera is located in Golden, CO if that makes any difference to people. I will have pictures online sometime this weekend and will udpate this thread with a link.

I'm asking $2550 for everything and will ship within the continental USA via FedEx ground. For shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, etc... or if you want FedEx express shipping, that will cost extra.

All items to be sold together as a package. However, I will sell the .7X wide adapter separately for $350.

PM me or email to: jeff@appliedvisual.com

The camera has been sold.

This leaves just a few accessories:

Century 0.7x wide angle adapter for the 16x manual Canon lens, $400.

Porta Brace rain cover. Great weather protection, $100.

Kata XL1 case (CCC 10 compact case). It's able to hold a Canon XL1s with MA100 and a matte box. This bag fits nicely in an airliner's overhead compartment. $120.

Thanks!

I went down to Fiberglass Hawaii to measure the rods with a veriner caliper and they're 0.595" or 15.113 mm diameter. On the "fat" end they're 0.598".

The slight taper is to allow the rods to be removed from the mandrel used to shape the rods, I believe.
