Recently I’ve been on a big spending spree, buying camcorders, accessories, and a lot more stuff, but come on, everyone loves a deal! Mid January I was at Vistek, wondering around, trying to figureout what to splurge on this time, when Fred, the head video guy at the store presented me with a deal, (no I’m not going to tell you the deal, you’ll need to wait to find out), and I ended up going for it. A few weeks later, while surfing the net, I found another great “deal”, I’m not sure that many could justify this purchase, but it was quite easy for me. I picked up a new (used) Video Tripod (The Bogen / Manfrotto BO525MVB503K), while quite expensive for essentially a stand, I see it as well worth it.

So now into late March, I am overloaded with epquiment, still holding onto my prevous camcorders (wonder what that deal from Vistek was?), and I realized it didn’t make a ton of sense to have 2 good camcorders, so I decided to try and sell this camcorder. I listed it on a couple sites (not eBay, I didn’t want to need to deal with all their fees), and after a couple emails, its now sold.

I am still working on assembling some footage, and its really proving to be a daunting task. In the coming weeks I plan on improving my skill behind the camera, and hopefully, I’ll have something to show on the web eventually.
