I'm looking for a used, but in good working condition, set of tripod legs. I have a 1030s head already. Sachtler or Oconnor would be at the top of the list, but I'm open. If you have some that you'd like to sell, PM me here (or better yet, email me) Be sure to include your asking price with best guess on shipping if you can. I'm in TN Zip 37363 Thanks! Bryan

I have an O'Connor 1030B Tripod head that needs a part. The mounting point between the pan handle and the head itself has been worn down over the years and now slips when tilting the camera. Does anyone know the part number or where I could find it? Please see picture for the exact piece I am talking about. Thank you.

Hi, So, post-travel, my Sachtler 20P system came out of the shipping tube, and the 2-stage heavy duty carbon fiber sticks got the usual examination for damage, and, suddenly I had CF splinters in my hand from a fair-sized crack in one of the outer sticks. These are the heavy duty 2-stage sticks, from a awhile back I'm assuming, as the 20P is a few models ago. I'll need to look into the stick model, specifically, sorry. If it helps I can take pictures later. But I assume you can imagine the damage. Anyone have any tips for repair? Is sending to Sachtler the main option? Experiences with any other Sachtler-ready outfits or shops would be most welcome. Also, what can I expect to pay for a new / replacement (single) stick (for the outer, upper stage)? Thanks a million, Isaac

Hello all, I'm looking to strike a deal with someone on a long term rental on some equipment. The exact dates are still up in the air, but I'd need the gear for essentially the month of July 2013. (tentatively July 1st through the 22nd). If you are in NYC, that's ideal, if elsewhere we can pay to ship it depending on how much you are willing to rent it for.

Hello. Just finished some work on camera and looking for a secure tripod. The problem is that I spent all my money on camera modifications and very little left. Was looking for a tripod on eBay and found WEIFENG WF-717, with fluid head. Is it the best option for £180/$290? The camera with 400' mag, lens, mattebox is just little over 6kg. Can anybody leave some feedback of this tripod or recommend something at this price range? And here is the link to tripod itself http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190578551127

I have my Arriflex 35mm camera package up for sale. I have arranged it to be a film maker's production kit, so it comes with everything you need to get you going. Here is an excerpt from the ebay ad I have up. This is an ARRI 2C camera (rods, matte box, not included) with a flat-base crystal-sync variable speed motor, 50mm Schneider Xenon Lens, Vintage wooden Tripod & Arri 2c Friction Head and LOW RESERVE. Camera comes with Black and White video tap, for you, for your director and/or your actors too. With this kit you can make money with the satisfaction & quality that digital just can't offer you. This motor can speed at 8 fps, 12 fps, 16 fps, 24 fps, 25 fps and 32 fps. It shoots rock steady 24 fps. It can run in either crystal-sync mode or variable mode. It can also run in reverse mode with the flick of a switch. This camera is light tight, I just recently ran a 400ft test roll successfully. No streaks, No light leaks. Camera body with motor weighs less than 8 pounds. This camera package includes: - full 4-perf gate with a 1.37:1 ground glass and a fixed 180 degree shutter. - tilting viewfinder with closeable diopter. - color video tap with AC adapter. - a new 12v Panasonic battery with 4-pin XLR cable - battery charger for 12v camera battery. - battery holder with shoulder strap and belt - Lee Utterbach 400ft Ball Bearing High Speed Magazine - Three Dust Caps for the lens ports and Lens caps for Schneider Xenon All you need is film and you’re ready to roll!!

Considering The lens alone is worth over $500+ it really works out to be a sweet deal. Let me know if you're interested, Thanks! Peter C.
