One of the 2bi4 Media DVX's is for sale. This one never even saw snow.

Was used to goof around with this summer and was going to be used for a

big project this upcoming ski season. But I am poor, and with all the

new DSLR's that shoot HD video, I really have no excuse to not sell of

the photo and video gear I have now and combine.

CAVEAT!!!!

A few months ago, I brought the camera outside to put in the car. I was

going to shoot some paddling with a friend. Realized I forgot my keys

inside and I set the camera down on the roof of the car to go back in

and get the keys. Came back out, hopped in the car and pulled out just

in time to hear the camera slide off the back of the car. Camera hit

the ground matte box first and took off the front end (same thing that

happens all the time when a skateboard hits the front of a DVX). I

picked up all the pieces, brought them inside, and put it back

together. When I did, the only thing left not working was the manual

zoom ring. It will zoom with any of the zoom rockers from 0 to 88 (of

100). From 88, you can pull the zoom out with the ring or use the

rocker. Aside from that, the manual focus works, the screen is perfect,

and their are only still 117 hours on it. I am asking $1000 just

because of the issue with the zoom. It might be a simple fix, but once

I got it back together, I didnt want to pull it back apart again. It

ripped off via 3 small screws that pulled out of the plastic threads

they were in. I just slid some JB Weld in there and reset the screws. Is solid and wont come off on you.

So what you get is this:

-DVX100b - 117hrs

-1 Panasonic 12 hour batt - holds full charge

-1 no name 12 hour batt - holds full charge but fitment in camera is

off and sometimes will wiggle and lose connection with camera. Came

with camera, i never really used it in the 6 months I have had the

camera.

-Tiffen 72mm Polarizing filter

-Charger

-AC Adaptor to plug camera into wall

-Original Panasonic neck/shoulder strap

-Anything else I have laying around.

Lens cap is missing...Lost in house somewhere.

Camera is extremely clean and was taken care of aside from ther car

incident. There is some wear of paint, and a few small marks on the

surface, but that's to be expected.

The only problem with it was that the tripod mount popped out of the

base. I fixed it with some JB weld. I have used the camera on a tripod

all summer and it hasnt come loose at all. I didnt take any pics of the

base, but can get some for anyone interested.

I am asking $1000 for the package above. I also have a GS320 that I

used as a capture deck that is in good shape as well. On a sunny day,

the GS320 would make a great second camera for a long lense shot. If

you want that as well, We could work something out. Buyer pays

shipping. Camera is located in Northern NH. Email: Jack@SAsnow.com

Read thread. Camera took a shot to the matte box and the front focus and zoom rings came off (Not the lens). Camera was reassembled and the threads that stripped were filled with JB weld, but the Zoom ring will not zoom in manually. The zoom rocker works to zoom in up to 88 of 100, and you can pull out with the ring manually, but it wont zoom in manually, only with the zoom buttons on the camera.

Other than that, the camera is in perfect working order with only 117 hours on the heads and never used as a capture device.
 
you oughta just get a quote for the damage, it could help your sale... I really don't know anything about cameras tho..
 
Yes, except that costs money, and I am trying to sell the camera for money.

At $1000, someone is getting a camera that is $500 less than what they would pay if it was working. I can guarantee it will not cost the buyer $500 to fix it.
 
yeah I know its just hard to trust people across the internet.. its like buying a car that needs repairs before inspection. You can say it only costs x amount, but there isn't any real proof. LIke I said, I don't know enough about cameras to tell you what to do.. Just saying it might help.
 
wow bump... this looks super sick and doesn't look that damaged at all even if it fell of a car (maybe its just me)
