What would you buy with $15k?

<danecook> I'd want a monkey that I could battle. </danecook>

Yeah, one that could drive the getaway car and teach himself to talk!

I'd get a jib
it doesn't have to be my advanta-jib lite, there are many to choose from
but nothing says "pro" like a jib

Stuff for RED

Yeah. I'd save up another $2,500.

 

[mjmcneese]

You could buy a PS3.

I think we all know a RED investment wouldn't be limited to just the body of the camera (which is 17.5k for reservation holders).

Then there's the lens, REDCODE, REDCINE, storage, monitoring ..... I don't got 35k - 50k. Okay, I do, but I can't justify purchasing something that huge for my small freelancing business.

Would be hella neat though huh?

$15K= HVX+around the world ticket.

Yes.

 

[OregonDank]

$15,000 crack party!!!

You dont need 15K to get the stuff your talking about.
I have a dvx + final cut pro system with FCP Studio, a boom pole, wireless mic's and so forth and I have no where near 15K invested....yet

Id suggest starting with a FCP system, the industry uses them, with an AVID system you really need a high end system to make it worthwhile for biz applications.

Not true. I know because I run both FCPro and Avid in my shop. You can run Avid Xpress Pro on most anything.

I'd buy a Rock River Arms Elite CAR A4 with tactical stock (3 or 4 of them)

A Remington 700 action sniper rifle in a McMillian A5 stock (2 of them)

A Barret .50 sniper rifle

A truckload of surplus ammo

More Glocks


Oh wait, you mean't $15K on camera stuff?

Run for the hills, the russians are coming! WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!

I knew there was a reason I liked you! :thumbup:

Although I'd by a few more Arsenal Sam-7's than Ar's!

 

[colormeter]

I'm still stuck on buying a DVX or HVX or getting by with what I can borrow from work.

Be careful with what you "borrow" from your work. There could be serious consequences.

Some companies call that stealing.

Okay, then--buy my hardly used, nearly brand new 2/3" DSR450 for $12K (currently sells for $14K) so I can buy RED!

Thanks for your concern. I've got permission to use the gear from work. Ima lucky boy.
