I bought this camera and a Letus 35 kit for use on a documentary film project that never materialized… so now I'm selling it. I'd rather play with photography gear in my spare time, and my HMC40 sees little use.
The HMC40 I'm selling is one that I've used for three wedding shoots, as a timelapse camera, and as a vacation camera.
This HMC40 is in perfect working order, it has 98 hours of use, and it's in great cosmetic shape (there is just a tiny paint rub on the back of the LCD flip-out screen, see the photos at the link below).
I used it as an isolated camera during a few wedding services, and I also used it as a lightweight run 'n' gun camera on my SteadiCam Merlin during a wedding reception.
This camera is coming with a LOT of extra goodies - in fact, it's absolutely everything you'll need to get out there and get shooting except for a set of headphones and a carrying bag.
Almost all of the original accessories are included except for the battery-charger-to-camera AC power adapter cable and manufacturer's box… so instead there are a total of 4 batteries (3x 6 hour, 1x 3 hour) included, as well as chargers for all of them. I've yet to run one of the 6 hour batteries fully down, even when leaving the camera on & rolling for a whole 1 hour wedding ceremony AND the following 4 hour reception - beginning to end.
With it, I'm including a 32GB Class 4 Kingston SDHC card that has proven reliable for myself and the previous owner.
I'm including an Azden shotgun mic that has a sweet pickup pattern and is effective out to ~50-75 feet (in my usage of it with the HMC40).
Also included is a BeachTek DXA-4P XLR adapter/audio controller. This unit allows you to pull in and set the levels for any two XLR feeds, whether it's a board-pull from a mixer, wired and wireless lavalieres, condenser mics, etc.
Additionally, I'm throwing in two useful filters you'll want to keep with the HMC40: a CPL and a warming filter (handy on cloudy days if you want to get lazy and punch in a 5.6k manual WB like I do).
The 2 aftermarket batteries cost $40/each ($80), and the add-on Panasonic VBG6 goes for $150ish new. The aftermarket chargers cost $25 total. The shotgun mic and BeachTek adapter together cost $250. The filters cost $50. The 32GB memory card is $70ish currently (I paid $100 for it). That's about $600 in extras, in addition to the HMC40.
I'll include also include a Sony ECM-44B electret condensor wired lavaliere microphone & case (XLR)... This is a $175 microphone (at current, reduced B&H prices - I paid closer to $250 originally).
I'm looking for $1600 (net to me) for this whole kit SHIPPED viaUPS Ground.
$1600 gets you:
HMC40
32GB Class 4 memory card (over 2 hours rec time at 1080p/24p)
Original accessories: remote, top handle, rubber eyecup, lens shade, RCA a/v cable, Shoulder strap, component video cable w/BNC nubs are all INCLUDED
