Premium Members Tom Wills Posted October 12, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 PLEASE NOTE: I plan on purchasing a new sled in the next few days, so I'm putting my sled up for sale. However, if the new sled falls through, I will no longer be selling this one, and will take down the ad. Here's my PRO I sled, which has been an amazing starter rig for me. It's flown everything from DSLRs (with a huge weight plate) to fully-loaded RED ONE setups, and everything in between. I just wrapped a feature with it, and it held up well, even under the stress of an 18 day all-location feature. It includes: - Donkey Box 1 - Original PRO centerpost - Original PRO battery hanger - Marshall 651STX HDMI Monitor and yoke (a $1600 monitor, and a $250 yoke) - 15mm Rod Monitor Mount (see condition note below) - PRO to Marshall LCD cable - Custom Foamed Case (well-worn, but very usable) - 10 PRO Chocolate Bar batteries (all re-celled within the last 3 years or so) - 2 PAG chargers - 6 PRO Chocolate Bar to PAG adaptors - Custom Foamed Case (well-worn, but very usable) It DOES NOT INCLUDE the gimbal shown or the Gorelock docking collars. It would include a 3A Gimbal and wrap grip (which I would be getting with my new sled), and may include an older PRO docking bracket. Condition notes: This sled has seen a lot of use, and has had a lot of modifications over the years. Everything on it works, but some of it is rather well-worn, and there has been some custom wiring done (some of which I have undone). One battery's LCD readout has died. The battery still works fine, however. The 15mm rods for the monitor have a tiny bit of vibration when extended all the way out. Shouldn't be an issue at normal extension. I paid $6000 for this rig, without a monitor (but with some other accessories) a year and a half ago. I would like $6000 for the sled, monitor, and batteries, but I am open to offers. For the right price, I may also throw in a Decimator 2 and cables, so the rig is usable for HDSDI cameras. The sled is located in Philadelphia, PA, and I will ship worldwide. I will gladly bring it anywhere on the east coast of the US for inspection, if you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Tom Wills Posted October 13, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Just a quick note - I spent some time playing with the monitor rods tonight. Turns out some parts were loose. That killed the vibrations I was having pretty well. Still a hair of vibration at full extension, but totally usable at normal extensions. So, you get the full setup, including a good starter monitor bracket. I believe in being really up front about things I'm selling. I'd much rather you know what you're getting before you buy it. I want you to be completely happy after you buy gear from me, so I put it all out there, so you can be a better informed buyer. This is a good starter rig at a good price. If I can get this rig sold quickly (within a few weeks), I could be convinced to throw in some accessories. Contact me for more information!

Premium Members Tom Wills Posted October 17, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Update: The rig now includes the MK-V Upgraded 3A gimbal, as shown on the sled, and a short dovetail. It does not include a docking bracket. With these new additions, I'm asking $6500 with the monitor and upgraded gimbal, or $5500 without the monitor and rods. You won't find another comparable sled this cheap. It's a great starter rig, especially with the monitor. Here are some new pictures, and an updated description. http://willsvideo.com/forsale/forsale/sled.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Tom Wills Posted October 25, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 New Update - Price drop! The rig now no longer includes a monitor, and has a 3A monitor arm instead of the homemade one. Doesn't include a docking bracket. $5000 firm. Updated pictures to come tomorrow once I get tired of flying my new sled around the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
