I'm selling my Inspire Pro Black Edition with X5 4k camera drone system, never used on a project just gently tested on four training flights - I'm the original owner and the quadcopter is perfect with less than 2 hours of flying time (I'm working with a dedicated piot now and so don't need the drone myself). It's the complete Inspire 1 v2.0 Pro Black Edition kit with the amazing Zenmuse X5 4k interchangeable lens camera and 3 axis gimbal and everything that came in the new $3750 package from Abelcine... foamed hard case, TB48 battery, Pro Controller, chargers, DJI props, DJI 15mm f1.7 lens, chest harness and manual. Plus four media cards and hard case, some filters, lens shade, extras props, Yx fast charger and Pgytech landing zone. All packed away and ready to go... contact me for photos. Chris@CLAi.tv or 8314197590 (NB. The CrystalSky CS550, Olympus 14-24mm Digital zoom lens and extra TB47 drone battery shown are NOT included in this sale but may be available to buy separately) Chris Layhe, Santa Cruz, California 8314197590

I have one of the more advanced Alexa Plus models available - buzz me at chris@clai.tv

Good news, the Sony FS7 complete system has now been sold - but the Sony F5 system is still available? $10,800 for the camera or $17,800 for the entire system with a lot of stuff included... Chris I have my two Sony complete 2nd camera systems that I'm selling - multiple Arri shoots means it's time to change out some barely used gear, so the two 2nd camera systems are on the block. Both are in great condition, both are very complete as shooting kits, and both have very low hours. One is a Sony F5 4k model, with the AXS-R5 RAW back option, media and all the rest - very low studio only hours at 588 (and only 38 hours on the back). I'm selling it for $10,800 just for the F5, with PL, FZR, Leica R and Canon EF lens mounts and more. The whole package with the AXS-R5 back, 3# 512 Gb SSDs, QXD Adapters and media, V-Moun to Anton Bauer plate, Arri LWS shoulder rig and shell case is $17,800 plus shipping. The other is my Sony FS7 Mk1 camera system with just 153 hours on it, which again is fully rigged with the XDCA-FS7 Adapter for RAW and more codecs, the fabulous Zacuto Gratical HD EVF, a full Zacuto Recoil shoulder mount system, XQD media and batteries. The basic FS7 camera is $5,750, including an ergocine shoulder rig and camera cage. The complete camera package, including the XDCA-FS7 back and power unit, the Gratical HD and Recoil systems, media and batteries is just $10,500 plus shipping. There is too much to list here, so I've put everything up at https://www.clai.tv/...e-clai-tools-2/ with photos at https://flic.kr/s/aHsmkm12cn.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a good used Arri Alexa Classic or Plus camera kit, with a High Speed license, in the US. Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Please let me know exactly what you have and what you are hoping to get for it... emailing me is best, at Chris @CLAi.tv Chris Layhe CLAi San Francisco

Hey folks, Some bad news for me this week, following a nasty bicycle crash my left thumb is broken in 3 places and so I'm going to be out of commission as a DP until January... fortunately it doesn't affect my color grading work, so I'm starting to fill my schedule with more hours at the DaVinci on film, agency and corporate work. But that means good news for others - I've decided to put my complete Sony F5/AXS-R5, FS7/Odyssey 7Q+ and A7Sii camera packages, and Leica and RED lens packages up on ShareGrid as I hate to see them sitting idle, along with our audio package, support packages, lighting and a bunch of other stuff that will just be sitting in the storeroom gathering dust. The prices are very good considering what comes in each package and ShareGrid is simple to use with really nice insurance deals for short term rentals. You can see all of the individual deals at https://sfbay.sharegrid.com/en/people/chrislayhe, and do shout if you would like to see any different recipes up there for the next three months!

I live by that histogram! Best exposure meter on there! Just out of curiositly, which histogram does everyone usually use? I find the RGB histogram to be quite useful.

Thanks for clearing this up everyone. I've been pondering this myself.

Very useful information everyone! Thanks a lot! -Chris www.redshot.us www.animate3d.us
