For Sale: Sony F3 and PIX240 Package

[Mark Kenfield]

Well as the world turns, so to do equipment lists… my kit upgrades are continuing, and so it’s with a heavy heart I’m putting my beloved, pimped-out Sony F3 kit up for sale. She’s been customised with the complete Element Technica body armour and shoulder-pad/baseplate kit, and so is solid as a rock (well… solid as 1/2” thick solid aluminium at least), and can go from sticks to shoulder-mounting in seconds.

 

The camera is in excellent condition (336 hours usage - only about 10 of which is actual internal recording) and comes paired with the wicked Sound Devices PIX240 (and my near-genius lightweight mounting system that slides directly into the Element Technica top handle and gives you full adjustment on three different axes). She’ll give you 13.5 stops of dynamic range, an 800 ISO base sensitivity (with stupidly clean high ISOs), and 10-bit 4:2:2 1080p at up to 60fps via dual-link SDI (though you’ll need a Gemini or Odyssey 7Q for 1080p60 - the PIX only supports 60fps at 720p, 30fps at 1080p).

 

The kit is ready-to-shoot, and includes everything you need to start shooting: camera, recorder, media, power, and all of the necessary cables.

 

Kit includes:
- Sony PMW-F3
- F3 Manual, Software Disc, XLR Microphone
- Element Technica F3 Body Armour Kit
- Element Technica F3 Baseplate/Shoulder-mount
- 32GB SxS Card for internal recording
- 3x GMP 96Whr Batteries with DTAP
- 1x Sony BP-U60 Battery
- Sony Battery Charger
- Sound Devices PIX240 4:4:4 Recorder (records 10-bit ProRes and DNxHD)
- 2x PIX Caddies
- PIX Screen Protector
- DTAP to Hirose Power Cable for PIX
- 2x 256GB Sandisk Extreme SSDs
- Berkey Systems PIX Mounting Rod
- 2x 6” Handle Rods for mounting PIX to F3
- 1x HD-SDI Cable

 

I’m looking for $9200 + shipping for the complete kit. Or $7200 + shipping for the camera bits by themselves (I’ll quite happily hold on to the PIX). EFT preferred, or PayPal fees split 50/50.

 

Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

 

 

 

 

She really does make beautiful, beautiful images - about 95% of my showreel here was shot on this camera:
