No, it does not. You have to stop using the software because the 'upgrade' is just that, not a completely separate copy of the software.

Or, the correct thing to do is remove the software and put the machine in a stock configuration for sale if you intend to use 5.1 on your new machine. I don't mean to answer for Boyd but this has to be clarified ASAP so Chris can't get into legal trouble for the reasons Boyd mentioned.

Ah very good then. Definitely don't want to cause problems for one of my favorite boards. Then I'll modify the post to reflect the changes....

Thanks guys.

See Apple's FCS license here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/finalcutstudio51.pdf

I'm sure you will find this to be true of other software products as well...

And thank you Bryan for being so honest. It helps everyone.

Out of curiosity, which camera are you using?

XL2. Found it difficult to balance and I am not strong enough to make it work well.

In any case the Glidecam is now sold. Thanks to all who replyed for your interest.

I can't understand the shoulder support, what does it do. Sorry for the ignorance!

Mike

hey mike.

the shoulder support will make a hand-held setup a little easier to lug around.

i'm going to take pics of the rig tonight for a prospective buyer, but i think this picture should clarify things...

FS: Canon XL1s
 

Hello, all. I am attempting to sell my XL1s, to join the "slightly better SD revolution"--to get an XL2.

So here's the deal--

I got this camera around the beginning of 2002. It's got, to the best of my estimation, between 150-200 hours on it. In 2004, I took it in to Professional Audio and Video Service, in Houston, to have it looked at, cause I noticed it was not always reading timecode off tapes, when used as a deck (yes, I'm sorry, I used to do that, have not done it since then). It had some repairs done, specifically --they replaced the pinch roller, supply reel, tension assembly brake, tension arm assembly. They also adjusted tape tension, cleaned tape paths, and performed functional check.

Since this time, I have not used it as a deck, and I've maybe used it for five minutes total, for field playback. It mostly lives in its Kata bag, or sits on a tripod in my room.

The stock lens is flawless, and has mostly sat on a shelf, as I use the manual lens almost exclusively. There are a few dings around the handle area, just regular wear and tear. Other than that, it looks pretty nice. I had a small piece of velcro glued to the bottom, right near the screw holes for tripod plates, for a handheld rig I used to use sometimes.

The biggest flaw on this camera is on the body, where the viewfinder attaches. I don't know how this happened, but two little "pins" that keep the "wheel" on the body attached are broken. This doesn't affect anything, so far as I know, because there are four screws that do the same job. I took that piece apart several times to attach rubber grommets, to make it less likely to come loose. I'm assuming the pins snapped during one of those occasions. It's probably something you'd never notice unless you took that piece apart yourself, and that part of the body is not at all loose or anything.

I have the manual, and lens literature, as well as all the accessories that orginally came with the camera. I'm throwing a system isolator (which moves the viewfinder assembly forward about two inches, to keep camera noise from picking up on the onboard mic, and also, makes it better balanced for handheld work, which is the reason I got it) , to make it a little sweeter (I know, it ain't much).

So, there you have it. I have a certain price I'm aiming for, and I'd rather just take offers via email, and see what people are willing to pay. If I don't get what I'm lookin for, it'll go up on ebay. If I still don't get what I'm lookin for, I'll come slinking back here like a dirty schmuck, and try again.

I'm going to leave this up for a week before it goes to ebay.

Houston members, if you're interested, we can meet somewhere and you can inspect it in person.

Questions/comments/snide remarks, email joshbass at sbcglobal dot net

CHRIS: I have images I'd attach if the forum'd let me. I read the other thread about image attachment, and I seem to be missing something. I've been here forever, and I'm signed in, and I still don't see it.

No, you tell us what you're roughly looking to get first ;)

Josh, you should be seeing a "Manage Attachments" button in the Additional Options area of any new post page... directly below the new post text input field. Ya dig?

I don't see it, sir.

Anyone else? Really hoping to find someone in Toronto...

Ok, kids, until the attachment issue's resolved, we can view the images from my website.


So, here you go.

Plain old side views of the Xl1s:

The bottom where the velcro was attached:

http://www.joshbass.com/xl1sbottom.jpg

And the viewfinder attachment, on the camrea body, showing the broken pins (the are the two white/silver circles on the right hand part of the picture). You are looking at the area where the "wheel" is normally attached to the body, with the camera's front facing you. I took that piece apart to show the breakage. If it were it intact, you wouldn't be able to see see that part of the camera, 'cause those pins hold the wheel and the piece of plastic/metal it spins around, when the screws are all removed. Now, when screws are removed, it just pops off.

I'd just to like to add that I am not willing to break it up (sell body only).

disregard this message...sorry

Matt, let me know if you want me to send you pictures. Also, this is the one with the IR editing controller.

VariZoom Stealth Lens Controller
 

I have a VariZoom Stealth Lens Controller that will work on just about all Sony and Canon camcorders with a LANC input. It's brand new, has been mounted on my tripod but never used in the field. The reason I'm selling it is because it will not control the focus on the new lens for the Canon XL2 or XLH1, zooms only and I need it to control focus as well. Of coarse, I didn't know this when I bought it. Works great on my XL1s, XL1, GL2 and a lot of others but not the XL2 or XLH1!

Here's a link to the VariZoom web site for details of this item:
http://www.varizoom.com/products/con...vzstealth.html

I paid $189 plus shipping last month from DVinfo.net site sponsor B & H Photo, I'll take $170 to your door. (Can take PayPal payments.)

Im in Natomas I'll pick it up if its not the compact ....

No problems Matthew. I'm open to offers if you change your mind. Good luck!

David,
I sent you an email.

FS: MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB, 256MB Video
 

I am selling my MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, 1GB RAM (1 stick), 100GB HD (5400rpm), 256MB Video card.... like new in box. No scratches, marks, etc. Mint/new condition. I bought two of these, but only need one. It has seen very little use and is virutally indistinguishable from new.

Same configuration on Apple.com retails for $2299+sales tax = ~$2,400. (don't forget mine has extra RAM (only 1 stick so you can easily add another GB for 2GB total) and a larger, faster hard drive than base $1999 configuration). I would be willing to sell for an even $2k + shipping + PP.

I've bought and sold lots of stuff here as well as on FredMiranda.com (35mm -- I am Jake_SF).

thanks,
--Jim

hello anybody there?

FS: Panasonic HVX200 Kit
 

I am moving and have to clear up my credit. That means I have to temporarily liquidate my video equipment.

Here is what I am offering.

1 HVX200 Camera (purchased from Specialized Communications in Feb 06).
2 4GB P2 cards (with original boxes and cases)
3 Batteries (1 Panasonic original, 1 Spec-Comm, and 1 Power 2000) All 6000 mah except the Panasonic which is 5400 mah
1 Portabrace Case (holds camera and all accessories but still quite small)
1 Magic Box USB2 OTG portable battery operated HD with 80GB IBM Travelstar 7200 RPM Drive.
1 Panasonic 3.5" LCD Sunshade (made by Petrol for Pana)

I have shot 4 hours on the P2 cards (timecode is still intact) and about 4 hours on the tape mechanism. It reads 16 hours in the menu but I know I shot 4 tapes. I never checked it when I bought it to verify that is was at 0 when brand new. Either way even 16 is a low number.

This unit is in perfect shape. Hardly used at all. All original accessories included. Can ship the origianal box if you want it but it all fits neatly in the Portabrace Case and that can be packed in a better box for shipping.

$6500 takes it all. Paypal preferred but will take a cashiers check or money order. Obviously I will not ship until it clears. However with Paypal I will ship as soon as I receive the payment.

I should add that I am moving next week and staying at a temp location until we find a new house. So while I am a verified Paypal user my address will be changing soon and I don't know how that will affect any of this. I suppose I will have to re-verify at the new address.

Thanks! Hope someone can use this stuff. I am way too busy at the moment and for the next 4-5 months to get any use out of it. And I do need to clear up some finances to get our new home loan approved......

Matt not sure where you're "hearing things" but had mine for a little over a year and it's been solid as a rock, never an issue and total compatibility with my Canon GL and XL series cams.

Price drop
 

We're down to $350.

FS: Petrol DV Rain Cover
 

For sale.....Petrol PRC-DV Rain cover used about 2 times for my Canon GL2 camcorder which I no longer have. Fits most MINI DV Cameras...Canon GL2, GL1, Sony DSR-PD150, DSR-PD-100, DSR-PDX 10 & similar size camcorders. I must get rid of this. Paid $85.00 for it at B&H, I am selling it for $40.00 plus shipping OBO. Heres a link with more info on it. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ist&sku=236286

email me any questions you may have....
kevingallif11@bellsouth.net

He has been asking me the same questions about my Panasonic dv-2000.

Oh Man>...
 

I just ordered mine from B&H and have to sit and wait until they get it in stock. I really wish this had come up earlier this week.

Since it isn't in stock yet can you get your money back? I'm not being pushy but B&H has a really decent return policy on items that you actually have taken possesion of. I'd be surprised if you couldn't cancel an order that hasn't even been filled. Then again I might wrong.

Let me know if you want to do something like that.

Just sent you an email.

I thought I'd clarify what the USB drive does for those that do not know.

It is a small enclosure with an internal battery. It is 80GB 7200 RPM. What happens is you put the HVX into USB mode and then hook this liitle device to the HVX via the USB port while the P2 cards in still in it. Then when the USB drive poweres up it sees the HVX as a storage device. You hit the copy button and it copies all of the files off the P2 cards to a folder on the hard drive. If 2 P2 cards are in the camera it copies both on the fly and creates 2 directories. It beeps to let you know it succesfully copied the contents of the P2 cards. At this point you can format your cards and shoot 2 more P2 cards full. It really is slick.

In my use with it, it takes 6 minutes and 13 seconds to copy a full 4GB P2 card. Double that if you have 2 4GB cards. It has been reliable and I filled it up to about 50GB with P2 transfers several times. Thats about 10-12 copies on one battery charge...and I should point out that the battery didn't actually run out. I just was done. Of course I recharged before the next time I needed it.

It is really a poor mans P2 Store but you have to use the camera for making the transfers.

Peace!

Fs: Jvc Gy-dv500
 

If you want to make high-end interlaced DV, this is the camera for you. The 1/2 chips provide latitude and sensitiviity that you just can't get on a 1/3" camera. This rig includes a real servo zoom lens, quick release tri-pod plate, and optional on board mic. I used this camera on just a few jobs, so it's in excellent condition. I'm tired of seeing it sit in my closet, so it needs a good home. The price is $1999.00, or best offer. I take PayPal.
