Joel,

I am tempted by the tripod. Can you tell me what advantage the TA-100 has over the quick release plate on the 516 head?

[Dennis Rester]

Maybe interested in the XL1. How much do you think it would cost to get the "hot pixel" repaired? Is this something where the whole block is replaced or is this something relatively simple.

Thanks
Dennis

Hi Vence,

Because the XL2 is so front heavy, Canon released the TA-100 as an extra security measure when placing the camera on a tripod.

Basically, it is two pieces, a metal piece that you screw into the bottom of your camera, using 4 screws, and then a main piece that you secure to your tripod, also using screws. The two pieces click together.

The camera then fits onto the tripod without any risk of it falling off. And by pulling out a latch on the TA-100, you can easily remove the XL2 from the tripod. It basically clicks in and out with ease. It's basically a more secure quick release plate, securing your camera with multiple screws instead of just one or two.

When I first ordered it, I was surprised by just how large and sturdy the TA-100 is.

Let me know what you decide about the tripod.

Hi Dennis,

I don't know the cost of repair but assume the entire block would need replaced. I think some of the jvc cameras have a menu driven masking function for problem pixels. If there is a similiar masking function for the xl1 it is only accessible by the canon technicians.

The pixel is stuck on green and is noticeable at high gain settings. It first apperared in May 2004. It hasn't improved or worsened.

I use the camera mainly for weddings and just bought a used dvrig pro for use with a smaller camera.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

I have come into a situation where I need to let go of my XL2 kit. It is in great shape and has probably about 15-20- hours on the heads (thats how many tapes i have in my XL2 catalog).....all recording using Panasonic Professional grade tapes. She has been my baby and I treat her great. This is a serious kit. It includes:

Xl2 body and 20x L series lens that shipped with it and all accessories and manuals in the original box.
Tamrac soft Case Model 2249
Canon 16x manual lens in original box with all paperwork
Canon TA-100 Tripod Adapter
2 Power 2000 Lithium Ion batteries (6000mah) plus the original battery that came with the camera.
Century Optics .6x Wide angle adapter (works on both servo lens and manual)
Century Optics .7x Wide anlge adapter for use on the 16x manual lens
Century Optics 1.6x tele extender for use on 20x lens
Century Optics Pro lenshood and filter holder FA95 for use with the 2 wide angle adapters
Century Optics Pro lenshood and filter holder for use with the 1.6x tele adapter

All must go for $4800 plus shipping.

Please post if anyone is interested. I am preparing an Ebay listing for this in a few days but thought I would offer to my colleagues here first.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Looking to sell my XL1 with the XLR attachment.
This camera is in great condition and the lens does NOT have any imperfections at all. I used it last week and everything is in perect working order.

If you are interested, please e-mail me to discuss pricing. I'm also willing to work out a trade for a SONY VX2000.

Thanks for your time,

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

Which XLR attachement?
Are you willing to sell the XLR attachement separetely?
Thanks,

[Jeremiah Hall]

I've got a GL1 I've been thinking about selling. Wide-angle attachment, beachtek adapter, canon hard case, some other things. I use it more as a deck than as a camera. Works very well. My email is djehall@hotmail.com. Let me know if you're interested. I can send you photos, but it will have to be this weekend before I can shoot any.

[Mark Williamson]

Hey there,

I'm looking for a steady cam setup to learn on but can't afford to run out and spend $500 on one. I was wondering if anybody has plans and would be willing to build me one?

I would be using it for a SONY VX2000.

Thanks,
