[FS: General] Sony HVR Z1U Professional Camcorder, Chrosziel Matte-$2400

[Mickeyfilm]

Besides the Matte Box which cost new over 2500, I'm including lots of accessories such as the Sony Wide Angle Adapter Lens which cost 600. Extra batteries and charger and deluxe "16x9" (that's the brand) case (300).
Here's the breakdown:
Operation 90X 10
Drum Run 46X 10
Tape Run 39X 10
Threading 91X 10

About 100 hours ago, I had the 1394 connector on the camera changed, and the service facility did a cleaning and head alignment. On a scope, it looks great.

The camera is in excellant condition.


The HVR-Z1U features three developed Super HAD 1/3" CCDs. These 16:9 native CCDs, combined with a high quality 12X Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens and Sony's 14 bit A/D and DXP Digital Extended Processor, result in precise image acquisition with superb detail and clarity. The advanced CCD design allows more light to reach the pixel imager, reducing video noise and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The HVR-Z1U records this exceptional imagery using the recently adopted HDV 1080i format onto a DVCAM™ mini cassette.

I'm willing to drop down to $2200 which is a bargain with all the extras included.

 

[Mickeyfilm]

I'll drop down to 2100, but no lower. It would be like giving away the Matte box, wide angle adapter and other extras.

I bet you'd have a lot more luck if you didn't just post a large paragraph of generic camera info with no other information specific to your camera. Hours of usage, Chroziel model number (does it come with rails? French flag?) and some pictures go a long way. Likewise, you have 3 posts. There's too many red flags here for anyone to really consider this all that much. Post some more details and a picture and I bet you'll get rid of it quickly.

I posted simply what I have for sale. You don't have to buy it. It's a bargain.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to be rude. You're initial asking price was fair and you kept lowering it so I figured I'd give you some insight into why your door probably isn't getting knocked down with inquiries. People are aprehensive about buying stuff of this dollar value online. When there's just a single paragraph of generic product info, little additional specifications or information as to what's included, no pictures and the the poster has three posts, that just raises a lot of red flags. Your original ad read like something you'd find on the Craigslist spam posts that are asking $500 for Z1u.

Wasn't trying to crap on your thread though. As I noted, I think your price is quite fair.

well, then buy it!!

If I didn't already have a V1U I would! Free bump.
