Thanks folks.

So percy what's the ballpark price on the viper? $10K?

[percydaman]

i have no idea... probably more. my boss is close friends with a very respected pioneer in the camera motion control rig business. He frequently gets hardware from companies that you cannot even buy... so who knows, he thinks he might be able to get one....but we'll see. Hes setting up our motion control rig here in KC now... We'll be the only one with one in the entire midwest afaik...

More for sure...around $110K for the viper without recording or lens...according to a sales person via e-mail.

I'll stick to the $3-4K range for now...

We use a Canon XL1S, works fine for green screening..

Do you have any problems with the reflecmedia light ring and the Canon lens?
