Hi Laura,
I’ve had my EC-3 for a few years and had several problems. The first 2 were cable failures. I tried to use an aftermarket 100′-0″ and the ends were not to spec. If you have a cable from Pana and it has a (unusable) BNC on the end, most likely it has failed because of useage or 1 or more of your pins has failed. When you send in the unit for service, send in the cable.
good luck

Hey Nick,
I agree with all the responses from your post. Tony hit the nail on the head. From my exsperience accessory purchasing was my wake up call. When I purchased my first Varicam, I spent just as much dressing it up as i did for the camera body. I was suprised to hear that you were confused about what you get when buying a camera? You get a camera body, that’s basically it… I’ve also has success in matching up a Varicam with the SDX-900 passing through the AJ-150p VTR and up-converting to HD. I’ve heard a lot of hipe about the HDX-900 but nothing officially from a “user”. -

I agree with using the HD primes. We had a few issues with the cheap connectors they used on the Pro35 adapt. a few years back. Blew the connection on the power supply on cam. Cost us a few days of production time.
If you decide to go that route, white shade all your lenses and remember to change the settings each time you change out the lens. -

hey Alex,
I hope your not getting this for the upteenth time.
I just joined creative cow to respond to your ad. again, i hope i’m not to late.
I saw your posting about varicam. My name is mark. i have owned a varicam for the past 3years. I now have added my second camera package, for multi-cam shoots etc.
I was curious to see if you have hired a Tech.(D.I.T) for your History channel shoot.
If not I would be happy to discuss details and if we may be able to help you out.
I’m also not sure if you are “locked in” with renting your package.
I think i can save you $$$ if we were to work out an owner/tech. type of situation. i know the varicam inside-out and sideways. i have stored well over 20 looks.
I have an excellent package along w/ every style of monitor you could ever require or desire.
I live & work out of the DC- MD area and have worked on multiple projects for the HDTV style networks.
Check out details on my site. and let me know.
If not good luck.
Best
