I bought this camera just under two years ago when I was getting into video, It has served me incredibly well ever since providing top notch video. However I have found that I like still photography more then video, and I can't afford both so I am reluctantly forced to sell my GL2, and extras.

This is a true high end prosumer camera that is perfect for those getting into documentary video, sports movies, or just want to make their own high quality movies with out breaking the bank.

This package is perfect for the indy filmmaker who is on a tight budget but still wants high end results. The Tripod is quick to set up when you are working with time constraints, and amazingly smooth. The backpack holds everything securely, has a waist belt and sternum strap. Everything in this sale is very adjustable.

What I have:
GL2
Bogen/manfrotto 745XB tripod with 501HDV head.
LowePro Vertex 300 backpack.
Rynox .33 fisheye
Kata Weather cover
Tiffen Circular Polarizer filter
Quantaray UV Haze filter
Batteries:
Canon:
1x BP 915
1x BP 930
Impact:
1x BP 930
1x BP 950
No name
1x BP 945
also a canon 910 Dual Battery charger

and a bunch of tapes
The camera has only had sony tapes run through it, and has always had a filter on it and in the weather cover when out side. Regular (but not over) use of a head cleaning tape. Will ship with a tape that has been used once.

Prices are:
Gl2 and specific accessories - $1850
Bogen/Manfrotto tripod and head - $300
Lowepro Backpack - $180

I will only sell the tripod if I sell the GL2.
Check out bhphotovideo.com for more information and reviews on the gear

I can get pictures too.

Prices are:

Gl2 and specific accesories - $1650
Bogen/Manfrotto Tripod and head (willing to separate) - $300
Lowepro bag - $180

Everything- $2100

I find it ironic how people need pictures of a camera. Not saying it isn't necessary, jsut ironic.

I could pay 2100 for all of that or pay 400 extra dollars and get a DVX. Little high priced man.

a dvx with no tripod, no safe way to transport it, no wide angle for follow cams, not enough batteries, no filters to protect the lens, no weather cover to protect it from snow, and no tapes to film with. so yea, not to high priced. and I might be willing to go lower depending on your offers,

Also willing to trade stuff for a canon digital slr body (30d or 40d) and/or lenses.  especialy a 50 1.8, 17-85 4-5.6, 17-40 4L, 70-200 4L.  If you have other still equipment you would be willing to trade to just pm me. I will post pics tomorrow.

The fish eye lens is immaculate and as new.

Batteries are all in working order, the silver one is cracked (no name 945) I use it, I am not suggesting you should but I will ship it to you.

Nice set up, but it is pretty pricy, have seen similar set ups on ebay go for about $400 less. Still that is a pretty nice looking set up you have, and it looks to be in pretty nice condition.

except the high bidders on those sales never get what they bought. 
I have not seen eBay sales offer everything that I am. many do go for $1400 or less but don't come with all the accesories that this does.
