FS: Big Chrosziel Matte Boxes and Rod Systems

Postmaster

Dark Side of the Camera
Matte Box SALE 1

This is the real McCoy!

Not one of the little TupperWare style boxes Chrosziel makes
for the HVX and Sonys.

No Sir!
This is THE Official-WayCool-BigArse-MegaProfessionel looking Chrosziel box

This one is huge and has the famous Chrosziel adjustable folding trap, that traps much more light and glare than the cheaper Chrosziel boxes (that sell for "only" $1700).
You see the adjustable bellows on the big ARRI and Petroff boxes used on 35mm and 70mm productions. They are top notch and superior to the normal Matte Box that have only a flat black paint or masks that can not be adjusted.

It looks really cool on the HVX. Here is my own Chrosziel Mattebox/HVX combo to show you how big that beast is.
(And no, this one is not for sale)

It comes with two 4x4 filter frames and has 2 stages (one is rotating).

I also throw in the Chrosziel Rod Support (Sony mount) and 2 rods.
The adjustable Sony Vdove-tail plate can be modified to be bolted under every camera using a drill and the standard mounting bolt.

Here is what you get:

1. Big Chrosziel 2 Stage Matte Box (one is rotating the othe one can also hold longer filter-holders) with adjustable light trap bellows. (worth over $4000)
2. Chrosziel 15/60 Bracket (worth $189)
3. Adjustable Chroziel Rod Support (Sony mount) #401-51 (worth $610)
4. 2 15mm Rods (worth $140)
5. Two 4x4 Chrosziel Filter holders #402-04 (worth $558)
6. 102mm Chrosziel adapter plate #401-29 (worth $120)
7. 90mm Chrosziel stepdown ring #401-15c (worth $69)

Equipment worth over $5500

All I´m asking is, the price you would pay for 2 filter holders and 2 rods,
if you would buy them new at Abel Cine or b&H = $690 + shipping.

I would buy something if I had the money :D Frank is a good guy, did business with him before, so you guys don't have to worry when buying from him.
 
Right, that´s the same stuff!
And I was wondering why it went away so cheap.
I expected it to go way over 1000 Euros

The seller must hate me. :D

However it´s a win-win situation for us.

I got filters and a matte box and can share the rest here for nice price.

fyi for anybody that wants to know. the sony eng rod plate pictured above can be adapted to a panasonic cam such as the hpx500 by drilling 2 new holes in the plate. i have the same rod support on my hpx500. it was a very easy mod.
