I've got an HVX200

I'm looking for a letus kit or other quality adapter w/ some lenses, optimized for the HVX200

I'm looking for another P2 card, 16gb or more. I'm also looking for a decently priced firestore system

I'm looking for a quality tripod.

- I will probably be buying used gear unless I get a miracle deal on something new. I don't have a lot of money but I am saving and I will be buying something soon. Please let me know if you're selling something I'm interested in. Thank you.
 
I might just buy an E series P2 card. They're much cheaper.
I want to add on to a few things, concerning my budget. I only want to spend about 100$ on the tripod (maybe a lil more or less). I think the Letus kit is probably going to be expensive no matter what. I'm not wanting to spend more that 1500 on whatever I get.
 
If you have only $1500 to spend on these items, I'm afraid you might be disappointed in the end.

You won't find a quality tripod for $100 at all. Any tripod that will hold the HVX200 and will pan/tilt/stabilize this camera is going to cost a heck of a lot more than $100. Yes, you can find cheap tripods on ebay for $69 but if you want your camera to potentially crash to the ground or come out with shakey video, then by all means get it.

You won't find a 35mm adapter for cheaper either. Again, as above, you get what you pay for. There's a reason why filmmakers cut back on other things besides equipment... good equipment costs money and are worth their price tags in the end.

I'm not trying to be mean or lecture you at all, just saying that you should invest in a good tripod first, memory card second (whatever is left over from your budget or you can afford to spend) and either rent a 35mm adapter or save up for one. You'd be surprised how often you won't need the 35mm for scenes.
 
yeah. i bought my brevis adapter a couple years back for about a grand, then i realized to use it well, i needed rails. and a follow focus, then more than a couple lenses. then a mattebox...

very soon i had spent upward of $5k and all that would still be considered just a bit more than a "basic" kit.
