SOLD: TwoNeil DIY 35mm Pro, Opteka, and Rod Support

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 1st, 18:50

I hate to part with it, but I'm just not using it. Barely used, and I do mean barely. Look on my Vimeo page and you'll see how often I used it.

It's an original DIY 35mm Pro static adapter, Canon EOS mount, Opteka "achromat" with 43-55mm step up ring, and Cavision rod system.

The Opteka has a 55-58mm step up adapter, but the TwoNeil is a 57mm thread. It's a nonstandard size, so the black electrical tape is used to hold it in place (as per the instructions). The rod support definitely holds it in place, even though the tape is strong enough. The step up rings have a little wear and tear on the outside. The Opteka has a little scratch on the side (I had to use a heavy wrench to unscrew it from the step up rings). Scratches are cosmetic.

Lens is not included.

I'll ship it to the US with ample padding. Any valid order won't be refused. NYC order pickups don't pay shipping: we just meet for the sale.

So, TwoNeil+Opteka+Cavision rods. Best price and it's yours.

OK, here's a link to the pictures.

I gotta run, but will be back Saturday night. I'll reply to anyone as soon as I get back.

Thanks!

I'm interested in the adapter, we can talk prices when you get back if you'd like.

If he buys the adapter, I would buy the rod support system. Let me know what you want for it, thanks!

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 2nd, 20:18

OK, gotta bunch of emails and a coupla PMs. Let me look through and see what's happening.

**Thanatos** · 2009 May 7th, 14:14

I'm interested in prices, if anything has been sold, let me know. Thanks!

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 7th, 14:40

Sorry I haven't been here in a little bit.

OK, The whole kit is up for $220+shipping. Local orders don't pay shipping. We can meet somewhere to do the exchange.

So that's the TwoNeil DIY 35mm Pro with EOS mount ($249.00), Ring 3 ($?), Opteka macro lens (achromat) (~$50.00), Cavision RPMD90rod support system (~$80.00) for $220+shipping.

I don't have PayPal set up yet

**redfalcon** · 2009 May 7th, 15:16

I'm tempted just for how good the price is. That's a great deal you're offering, Scott!

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 7th, 15:20

Yes, I know. I was cringing when I did the math. You're technically getting all of the accessories for free

I used the TwoNeil maybe twice as much as you see footage on my Vimeo page. Really. The kit is in great condition. Just the cosmetic scratches on the Opteka from trying to get the step rings off.

So can you buy the TwoNeil separate? Or is it just a package deal?

**Thanatos** · 2009 May 8th, 21:20

I believe I'm interested in buying this kit, I'm just wondering, is it completely ready to mount to a "naked" HV20? Also, will I need to do a flip-hack or anything to make this rig work on my HV20?

If you want to email me any information, contact me at adf5142@gmail.com

You can mount it on the naked HV. It has the step ring adapters included. It's ready to go.

You can flip hack if you want, but it's not mandatory. A lot of users just get used to filming upside down. Some use the Sony DVD player as an external monitor. It's completely up to you.

Do you have an email address I can contact you at, or would you prefer I PM you for pricing?

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 10th, 19:23

You can PM, but email is fine, too.

giantklr@mac.com

I put pricing above. $220+shipping.

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 11th, 18:07

Here's a better look at the rig:

**Speculator** · 2009 May 11th, 19:33

Its unfortunate that the rods are 8mm (or I would've bought it up immediately), but i commend you on that sales video, nice job!

**scotthampton** · 2009 May 11th, 21:37

LOL

Thx, Speculator

**Casetay** · 2009 May 11th, 23:00

do you have footage with the adapter? Was it before TwoNeil only started making them with Nikon mounts?

Casetay,
See above. Take a look at the video on Vimeo. Links are listed there, instead of putting a bunch of videos in the thread.
