Private Classifieds listings from 2004

Perfect for shooting interviews, b-roll, small product shots, and events.

2 Lowel Omni - Includes bulbs, cables, barn-doors, and screens. A very flexible light for video production work. It can be lamped with 600, 500, and 420 watt globes. Its focusable - allowing you to spread the light evenly, spot it down to a tight circle, or any where between. Attached to Lowel Omni’s is a convenient umbrella mount to create a softer light. These lights are work horses. Even when problems do occur, the lights are easy to repair and parts are easy to purchase. These lights have seen a lot of use, but they are ready for much, much more. One of the reflectors is showing signs of age, but can easily be replaced. Both lights work well.

1 Lowel Tota - Great shape! Includes 1000 Watt bulb. Cable not included. Totas work great when placed inside of a soft box or reflected off of light surfaces. New cables cost around $35. Totas can also be lamped with a variety of wattages for additional flexibility.

1 Cool-Lux Mini-Cool - Great Shape! Includes barndoors, lightstand adapter, diffusion glass, AC power cable, DC cigarette adapter and 150 watt bulb. These are amazing lights. They can be lamped with various wattage lights that work with AC or DC. They are constructed to vent heat quickly which results in longer lamp life and a cooler working environment. I have found this light makes a perfect hair light for interviews, etc. This light design is so effecient, a 250 watt bulb puts out light equivilent to 600 watt fixtures.

2 Bogen / Manfrotto 3320B Stacker Light Stand. These 7 foot stands pack flat to fit easily into a case. These stands are in great shape and will stand up to a lifetime of use. These stands have a small foot print so they can fit in many places a regular stand can not. These stands are black to reduce reflections.

1 Bogen / Manfrotto Backlight Stand - Great Shape! Packs down small, but can extend to 33”. Great way to hide the back light behind your subject. This stand is also black to reduce reflections.

1 Bogen Boom Clamp - great shape. Make shift telescoping boom pole included - works great with the Cool-Lux Mini Cool.

1 Universal Softbox Speedring- good shape. I bought it used, never used it.

1 Pelican PCS104 Lighting and Camera Equipment Wheeled Case is a rolling case capable of holding a full lighting system, a camera and several lenses and a tripod. Even when closed the user has great access to his gear, thanks to unique zipper entry points in the case's top. The handle locks firmly into place at full extension, and inline skate wheels make for easy transport. Interior mesh pockets, telescoping rolling handle, rubber rails on bottom, top and side carrying handles, interior foam dividers can be customized and self-healing coil type zippers. Only used a few times. Great shape.
Copy and paste this link to appreciate how amazing this case is. You mini dv shooters could carry all your lighting, camera, accessories and tripod all in one case - on wheels!

1 Photoflex Translucent umbrella - used twice. Great for diffussing light from Omni or Tota.

2 Foam-Core Forks - no better way to hold foamcore or beadboard.

1 Photoflex Silver / Black Reflector - silver side has dulled, but black side is perfect for flag or negitive fill.

2 - 25’ Extension cords

Misc Clamps and blackwrap scraps.

This kit will give you a great start in your video career.

$900 plus shipping. Personal checks ok - must wait to clear before gear ships.

Can somebody please explain to me why MiniDV decks are ridiculously expensive? It's just a tape transport! Any company could buy VTRs off of a cheap camcorder model, put it in a new housing and voila! The only reason I can think of is that they assume only professionals are looking for decks and therefore can charge out the ass for them. Could you imagine if Sony made a $75 deck, and ran one of their monster ad campaigns in Nov/Dec claiming you NEED one to prolong the life of your camcorder, and then got a store like Best Buy to recommend one with every MiniDV camcorder purchase? Sony could spin some info on how MiniDV is better than DVD quality and they're digital (even though it really is, the way Sony makes proclamations I always take it with a grain of salt)! They would be all the rage! I am baffled at the lack of an affordable deck. Please somebody explain it to me.

price has been lowered and moved to a new thread...

Ryan Nowosielski · July 29th, 2004, 05:00 PM

no no, all i want to know is that if you have extra light bulbs only! that i can buy or get from you.. i need higher than 50w .... like 150w

Chris Ferrer · July 29th, 2004, 07:20 PM

the quality of the transport among other things in the pro decks that make them so dependable and thus cost more. If you put your little consumer camera through the rigors of hundreds of starts, stops, FF's, stops, RW's, starts, etc., everyday (you get the picture), soon you will have a $400 paper weight on your edit desk.
If you have ever used a pro deck to edit with, the difference is like night and day, the pro decks are very responsive and very fast in their actions saving you the editor quite a bit of time compared to the slow and sluggish camera transports. I have used several decks and cameras to edit and capture with but after buying my dsr-11 my search has ended, I couldnt live without it now.

Chris Ferrer · July 29th, 2004, 07:45 PM

Recently developed tendonitis in my right arm so its time for a smaller and lighter camera.

I have an extremely well loved and cared for complete XL1s (in mint condition) that has shot about 25 weddings over the last year and half. I also purchased the 3x wide angle lens for her about 6 months ago and that has very limited use on it, also in mint condition. (both USA models)

The extras I am referring to are:

1) a Tamron padded case designed specifically for the XL1
2) a Beachtek DXA-6 audio adapter, works great on this cam!
3) a Lenmar LIC-941 extra high capacity battery
4) custom attentuated XLR to RCA cable designed for XL1

*** I almost forgot I have a Varizoom PG-L zoom controller for this setup too! (also included in the price). You are getting a complete shooting setup for virtually the price of a new XL1s.

I am the original owner of all this equipment. Camera comes with original 16x lens, EVF, stereo mic, manual & battery charger.

$3750 for everything. shipping extra.

I dont want to seperate becasue I need the $$ to purchase my new camera asap.

call chris @ 919.451.9110
or email chris@motionworks.tv

K. Forman · July 29th, 2004, 09:43 PM

Chris- Have you tried any of the DV walkmans? I'm wondering how much difference there is, between them and a regular deck.

Chris Ferrer · July 29th, 2004, 10:00 PM

Keith, I have not used the walkmans. I love the idea as I do some of my editing on the road but I can only assume that the small size dictates the use of a very basic transport mechanism... although I could be wrong.

I have found the dsr-11 to be rather portable as well and couldnt be happier with its performance, but it is a bit on the pricey side.

I have not seem much info about the small walkman decks at all, anywhere.

I love the idea as I do some of my editing on the road but I can only assume that the small size dictates the use of a very basic transport mechanism... although I could be wrong. I have found the dsr-11 to be rather portable as well and couldnt be happier with its performance, but it is a bit on the pricey side. I have not seem much info about the small walkman decks at all, anywhere.
