Mark VanderSys Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Hello Cinematography community. I am a still photographer that uses a scan back camera to capture my still photos. Because each photo is scanned over time (verses the instant capture of a DSLR) I use continuous light sources (verses flash). One of those sources is a Briese 2500watt HMI which I bought new, have had for a while, and used for only 1,080 hours. I'm looking to sell it and for those who know of this German brand, it's not something you drop on craigslist. Any suggestions on where best to post this item for sale? Thank you. Mark
timHealy Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I would offer it to other still photographers or DP's who shoot commercials. Especially glamour or modeling. It is rare to see them on a Movie or TV show. Some Briese models have a loud cooling fan that is not great for sound recording. And some have a switch that can lower the fan speed for a few moments. What kind do you have? And is there a specific model and type that you own? How much are you asking? Best Tim
Robert Horwell Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I am interested in buying this light Mark. Plese contact me on indiefilmltd*at*mac.com
Mark VanderSys Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Tim, Thanks for your reply. Now that you say it, it makes sense with the fan and recording audio. Mine doesn't look to have a fan kill switch. I also don't have the coveted focus reflector, just a square one. Details/images are at: http://client.pixellight.com/BrieseHMI/index.html Again, thank you for stating some obvious (to cine guys) issues and directing me towards most appropriate uses/users. Mark
