SOLD

Zacuto Gratical X in MINT CONDITION. Just returned from the Factory in PERFECT WORKING ORDER. Has under 10 hours on it. Comes with FRAME LINES ($95 value) and SCOPES ($150 value), Battery, Charger and Anti-Fog Lenses. I have two and simply need one. $1,200 firm.

I like SpaceLights for that... btw.. without knowing your asa and frame rate, there is no way to say how many lumens you'll need.

Does anyone have the contact info for Ultra Lights? I need some T-Handles for a couple Zip Lights, 1ks and 2ks. I found their site but none of the Phone Numbers work. Any contact info would be much appreciated!

I'll take Black then ;)

I'll take mine in (Red) instead of (Blue) if possible....

Sweeeet Mitch! I am set w/ a baseplate, follow focus etc but removing the VF and adding the Handle I am VERY interested in!

ELEMENT TECHNICA is building those and they (should) be available in 30-45 days. As it stands, it DOES void the warranty, however, they are working with Sony to solve that. Hopefully Sony works with them! I would buy it right now but I am (not) going to void my warranty. Thanks Dave. You're welcome Dave!

Mitch, How much for that conversion? What about Warranty?

Who did/ can do this conversion? Any pics? I am looking for something similar.

I am very happy with the footage coming out of my F3 to KiPro Mini 4.2.2. Hoping next year the Cinedeck price comes down. Right now, it is a bit high especially considering many Stations want Spots delivered on Beta SP or DVCProHD 720/60.

Thanks Ross. Yes, that is perfect for Fill Light. Thanks!

Looking to get a Lens Light, something for Fill Light. What do you recommend?

btw...I bought mine through ZGC Inc. in New Jersey. Flew up there to meet all the parts, assemble and test. The folks at ZGC could not have been more helpful!!!! They were patient, accommodating and really went out of their way to make my purchase as stress free as possible. They even mocked up a Dual Port so I could mount the KiPro Mini behind the Camera and run both off one Dionic. Chris and Thomas could not have been more impressive in their support before, during and after my purchase!!!! I found a home at ZGC! Not to mention (they) are the Cooke reps for the U.S

Forget the VF... it is worthless. Forget SxS and HDMI as well. I use SDI to AJA's KiPro Mini. That takes the F3's Pl Mount and Sensor to a whole new level!

Just shot tests with Brand New Cooke Panchros, F3 and AJA KiPro Mini in ProRes HQ. Found best image rating Camera at 400 iso and meters at 640.... Absolutely beautiful, rich, (cinematic) Image there!!!!

Exactly! And I don't think most people using the F3 for (serious) production are shooting on SxS cards at 4.2.0. Is that what you were shooting Chris? They won't be using an old Angie zoom either. My package uses the new Cooke Panchros and records to the AJA KiPro at 4.2.2. I only bought the Body for the Pl Mount and Sensor. Certainly not for the viewfinder or 4.2.0. lol!

Thanks Nick. I went with the Zacuto Universal Sliding Base Plate & T-Slider to accommodate 2- 1/4 20s.

Geez. And I thought it was an F3 vs RED test lol!!!!! (The F3 being on the woman of course!)

What do you recommend for mounting an F3 on a Video 20 head and being able to (balance - slide). I see Tim uses the Zacuto Universal Plate. Is there anything else available that includes Power? I am picking up my Package this week and don't have it here. Gonna need to mount a Ki Pro Mini on the back as well. I think I am good on my Mini Worrall head but getting it on the Video 20 with a slider I need to figure out. Any thoughts and links much appreciated!

I was just told to expect delivery next week! :) Great write up Tim!

I just bought one. Waiting on Delivery the week of March 14th. F3, Brand New Cooke Panchros (18-100mm Primes), New Arri F3 Mattebox/ Follow Focus Kit, etc... Gonna use the AJA Mini for now as Stations are generally taking DVCProHD for delivery on Local and Regional Spots. Once they get their act together we'll be running Cineform on a Cinedeck. Looking forward to THAT!

SOLD! $11.7k USD. Now I await delivery on my F3, (NEW) Cooke Pancros and a host of other goodies!!!!...all Brand Spank'n New... did someone say Cinedeck? Sorry Kodak. Sorry Fotokem. It has been a GREAT ride! Thanks for all your help and invaluable service. Should I have another (Film) project you know where I am going... to You! Till next time....

Make that $9,995.00 !

New price $11k USD here or on ebay. * use ebay list for items included.
