K Borowski Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Howabout a complete sentence? This is probably the least descriptive post I've ever seen on Cinematography.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted June 9, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have no trouble understanding Tony. Unfortunately I have no idea about Xenons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't think he should attempt to enlighten us as to what he needs it for, his price range, his location? I guess we could all waste a tonne of our energy and time trying to guess his needs.

This is probably the least descriptive post I've ever seen on Cinematography.com. And exactly what form of embellishment would you prefer? An eight point star?

As to what a cinematographer might use it for........ Never mind - I'll ask elswhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted June 9, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hey Tony, I have used these 7ks before: http://www.arclightefx.com/bl7k.htm It worked fine, did what a Xenon does. That company sells and rents, though they are based out of the US (though I am sure they ship, but it is a little tricky if you wanted to see it first). I am sure there are a few other companies that sell them, though I'm not too sure who they are, I'll ask my gaffer. Kevin Zanit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind - I'll ask elswhere Listen, I'm not trying to be a smart-ass. Obviously you're going to use it to expose a piece of film in a camera. But I doubt a source in the United States or Sub-saharan africa is going to interest you if you're in Antarctica. . . I happen to know a pretty good supplier of lighting equipment & related equipment in my neck of the woods, but obviously with lighting, the shorter the journey, the better. Also, shipping costs can have an effect on price, especially with the current issues with the cost of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure a couple of $k shipping will make too much difference to the price of a a 7kw xenon It really makes no difference where it comes from Karl - I assure you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it "make a difference" twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it "make a difference" twice now. I would never buy a piece of equipment as expensive as a 7kW Xenon without getting a good ATA transport case for it - which solves the safe shipping issue.
