DVXuser Battery Special End of Year Sale - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

Jason Ramsey · 11-02-2009, 10:48 AM

From today until January 1st, 2010 (dang... 2010 already?) The Landmine Shop is offering a special price for the holiday season on the DVXuser Battery...

Usual price is 79 dollars. We will sell them until the end of the year for $59 per battery. That's 20 bucks off per battery.... Our way of giving back

You don't have to enter any coupon code or anything... The price is fixed at 59 bucks per battery until the end of the year.

jason

oh... and the additional 5 dollars per battery savings when ordering 4 or more batteries still applies on top of this... so 59 per battery, and 54 per battery if ordering 4 or more batteries at once.

later,
Jason

Jason any news if a battery is going to be developed by you guys for the hmc150?

Jason Ramsey · 11-02-2009, 11:03 AM

we haven't heard good enough news from our manufacturers yet.... We could certainly sell a hmc150 battery, but not one that would be up to our standards... It'd be like all the other 3rd party batteries for it right now and not communicate with the camera like the originals do, and I think require it's own charger, etc.

same story as of right now with the gh1 and 7d as well..

but, as soon as that changes, you guys will be the first to know

Why is it so challenging for manufacturers to make batteries that communicate with the camera?

Jason Ramsey · 11-13-2009, 03:46 PM

b/c camera makers like to make it so 3rd party batteries don't work in their cameras....

I know why camera makers develop proprietary batteries. What I don't understand is why third party manufacturers can't take one and duplicate it. It's not rocket surgery, is it?

They need to know the Panasonic CEO mother's maiden name to crack the code

Hey. sorry if I've missed your email. I'll check my inbox as well as your order number and see what's up.

I was sick last week, and then the weather this week kinda has me behind though.

If your's hasn't gone out yet, I'll throw in a free reduser shirt or something and refund your shipping if you'll let me know your shirt size.
