My car needs some major repair work done, so I'm cleaning house on my hobby gear. Prices and contact info at the bottom of this post!
Up for sale is my lightly-used Panasonic HMC150, a Letus35 Extreme adapter (82mm mount + 82-72mm step up ring for mounting on the HMC150) with multiple lens mounts and V1 rails, a Portabrace Rain sleeve (originally for HVX200, works great on the HMC150 and HPX170), Cinematics Mattebox, and a high quality Digital Juice camera bag that will contain the whole kit.
Details on the HMC150:
There are only 71 hours on the camera, and I've only used it for three short projects. This camera is mine for personal use, and serves as a backup to my HPX370, and HPx250 at work. It was purchased used from another shooter on DVXUser, and it works great. The camera functions as it should, the battery holds 3 hours of continuous shooting time's worth of charge, and it's cosmetically in great shape. No marks at all on the lens glass. 9/10 condition (because it is missing the two unsecured rubber XLR input covers, but all other rubber port covers are still included) Value = $2300 used, considering it is free of cosmetic blemishes, and has low hours.
Included with the HMC150:
-HMC150 w/ 71 hours operating time
-Lens shade, lens cap
-rubber eye cup
-IDX extended battery (equivalent to Panasonic VBG6)
-Panasonic AC/DC power adapter cable
-Panasonic battery charger + 120v cable
-RCA cables
-I may be able to scrounge 2 XLR port covers up
Details on the Letus35 Extreme kit:
I bought this Letus35 gear used about a year ago for use on a documentary project - that project has been shelved, and I no longer have a need for this rig. It has been used for a handful of field shoots at work, and has performed admirably on an HVX200, HPX170, HMC150, and HPX250. It has some cosmetic blemishes on the exterior of the adapter (minor rub marks here and there, some gaff tape residue), but nothing that impedes its function in any way. 7/10 condition Value = $500-650 used with the included accessories.
Included with the Letus35 Extreme kit:
-Letus35 Extreme adapter w/ 82mm threads
-82mm to 72mm step-down ring for mounting on the HPX170, HMC150, AC130/160, and HPX250
-Nikon "F" mount adapter w/ Nikon mount cover
-Canon "EF/EOS" mount adapter w/ Canon mount cover
-M42 screw mount adapter
-Letus V1 rails kit, 30cm length (extendable to 45cm with parts not included here)
-metal 82mm threaded cover for the rear of the Letus35
-4x AA Energizer batteries (so that you can use the unit right out of the box & have 2 backup batteries)
-convenient T-handle hex wrench for adjusting/changing mounts/tightening up screws on the Letus35
Details on the Portabrace HVX200 rain sleeve:
My friend has used this model rain sleeve on his HVX200 and HMC150 cameras for location video work in the rain and reports no issues with it. I bought it, but have never used it - except as a camera protector during transport. It's a good fit for the HMC150, and I have no other need for it, so I'm including it here. Value = $160 new
Details on the Cinematics Mattebox:
It's not the fit and finish of a Chroziel, but it's not nearly as expensive, and it's a heck of a lot better than a ProAIM. It's sturdy, features a handy swing-away design, it's built of metal and high quality plastic components, and it functions well with my 4x4" filters. This one is in very good cosmetic shape (only a few minor rub marks on the side flags from friction on the adjustable wings). The Cinematics mattebox includes 1 Eyebrow piece, 2 adjustable sideflags, 1 moustache piece, 1 non-rotating 4x4" filter tray, and 1 rotating 4x4" filter tray. Fits standard 15mm rail systems. 9/10 condition. (I'd suggest that you buy longer rails to pair this with the V1 rails above) Value = new for $480+shipping.
Details on the Digital Juice "Split" Large camera bag:
This is a solid, tough bag. I have 3 of them at work, and this one at home. I've used this bag for two roundtrip airline flights with the above gear contained within. It'll fit in an overhead bin, and it will accommodate the HMC150 + letus35 kit assembled with room to spare for a monitor, mics, XLR cables, a 15" laptop, SLR lenses for the Letus35 adapter, and a bunch of batteries. Ships with a padded suede shoulder strap. 9/10 condition. Value = $250 new
I'd like to sell all of the above for $3200 (via paypal, I'll eat the 3% fees) shipped as a package. You save $250 + shipping off of a la carte pricing below.
If you'd like to buy only some of the items, here are my a la carte prices, and you pay actual cost of shipping ($20-40, depending on the item):
HMC150 - $2300
Letus35 kit - $500
Portabrace Rain Sleeve - $100
Cinematics Mattebox - $375
Digital Juice Split bag - $175
Buyers in the continental US only please. AK and HI, we'll talk about additional cost for shipping. Sorry, no international sales at this time. Shipping will be handled via UPS Ground w/ tracking, insurance, and signature confirmation.
Email is the best way to reach me, PMs take longer for me to reply to. Additional pics of specifics available upon request. jasonallen127@gmail.com
Happy shooting!
