Camera Equipment...

Okay. I've decided I'm okay with my footage coming back to me from my HVX200. I'm okay with sticking with this purchase. What I think I'm finally ready to do is make the plunge into getting a decent fluid head tripod and either an M2 RedRock or Letus DOF lens adapter. Along with these two things I'm really fiending Zacuto's 'DOF Indie Baseplate Kit.'

All of these things together, plus a Nikkon or Zeiss prime lens or two, will end up costing me upwards of $7,500... Boo. Hoo.

If done, this would bring my HVX package up to about $15,000 which is still very moderate considering that some professional HD cameras alone can cost almost $25,000. It would also make me very in demand as a freelance DP because of how much like 35mm the images would look. I've already had paid gigs based on the fact that I had an HVX alone and with this package, my images would be RIDICULOUS.

Oh, money. The roadblock for everything. Going away present, anyone? Please...
