3 chip camcorder for sale

Hi Everybody

I am selling a Canon XL1 3 chip camcorder to help fund a film I am involved in. The camera works great but there are a few minor ailments with it:

1: The microphone holder has split. It's gaffer taped together at the moment but still works brilliantly. You can get a microphone holder with a shoe attachment but we've never got round to it.

2: There is no manual but you can get this from a website as a pdf.

3: There is an icon flashing on the screen but it should not be there. It is saying that the battery is not connected properly even when it is. It does not effect the recording and does not show when played back.

4: The shoe plate used to power the camcorder from the mains sometimes slips off if knocked. For this reason I always use batteries.

I have two 3-hour plus batteries and one 1-hour battery so never had any worries about power during filming my stuff.

Other than these ailments the camera is an excellent piece of kit!

Selling it complete with lens (16x not wide angle) and the 3 batteries for 850GBP. It was serviced 2 years ago and had a new circuit board fitted.

I am based in Derby so you can pick up if local or if further affield can post (obviously will have to charge for posting).

If interested email: popside.productions@ntlworld.com

I might stick it on ebay later so be quick if you want a decent bit of kit at a reasonable price.

Cheers


James

Hey Sean,

I noticed that this is an old thread, if you dont have any luck with James then we are also letting one of our old cameras go.

Details-

Canon XL1 Proffesional 3CCD
16x 5.5-88mm optical stabilizer lens
Eye Piece, Mic. cradel and Stereo Microphone

1x 3 Hour Battery
2x 1 Hour Battery

Full instruction manual (English)
Wireless Controller
Hard protective case

The camera and all accesories are in fully working order in immaculate condition. The head was serviced and cleaned in November and it has only been used once since.

Let us know if you are interested, and we can arrange something. It has only been sitting on the shelf so we would be glad to pass this great camera on to you.

Open to offers guys,

Basically it is redundant sitting on my shelf, I am not fussed about shifting it but also dont want to see it wasted. It hasnt been used since last year. I think a fair offer that can keep both sides happy and its yours.

Keni likes cash and Keni lives in brixton if your coming to have a inspect the camera or collect it lol!

I saw the same on ebay for 700 but had no case and less batteries. Mine has more bits but I dont expect that much for it. I would offer it to who ever wants to come and get it and give me a decent price.
