BirdBoy Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi Everyone, I am the new "Proud" owner of a Basson 925. Don't laugh. I have been following some of the mods here to try to find some peace with my purchase. I found this site after. Anyway ... I have the Panasonic 7" monitor for now but am close to buying a used Eclipse to replace it. If you have any input on this gear please let me know ... I would like to be able to see outside but don't want to buy something with known problems. Oh, it's $1000 if that is in the equation. Thanks in Advance, Steve Karr steve@birdboypictures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Norbert von der Heidt Posted November 26, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi Steve My first rig was a Basson 800 almost 2 years ago. I did some serious mods on it to try and bring it up to some kind of professional performance level. If you wish more info on the mods I did, you may find a previous post in the forum or if not then you can contact me for details. As for the Glidecam Eclipse, I bought one second hand for my new Heinz 57 rig I'm putting together. I'm still waiting for my vest and arm to arrive so I really haven't had a chance use it in a shooting situation but I did a test with my RF transmitter outside. It did a reasonable job but I had to wind up the contrast as high as possible to see a usable picture. A hood of some sort would definitely be useful. I paid $1400USD for mine on ebay but it is the 16:9/4:3 NTSC/PAL switchable model if that is any sort of help as a guide for what to pay.
