A complete, proven live-production front end: Canon J55x9B box lens with full servo control package, riding on a Sachtler Video 60 Plus Studio head and Vinten carbon fiber tripod. These have worked together on real shows — the photos show the exact combination in service. The lens: Canon J55x9B B4 mount, 9–500mm f/1.4, 55x range, with built-in 2x extender. Standard def, and it looks great on HD bodies. Includes semi-servo zoom and focus controls, auto iris plus a custom-built manual iris control, two power supplies (one for auto iris, one custom-made for manual), support sled, and silver rolling hard case. The support: Sachtler Video 60 Plus Studio fluid head, flat base, rated 35.2 to 143 lbs with 18-step counterbalance and nine grades of drag on both axes. Two pan bars, Vinten heavy-duty carbon fiber tripod, mid-level and floor spreaders, dolly, and cases. "Creamy smooth, even with heavy payloads." — DP Mark Schulze, Crystal Pyramid Productions Buying these as a matched set saves you the guesswork. A box lens this size demands a head rated well past what most supports offer, and this one carries it without going stiff at the low end. Everything is already configured and proven together. Both items are Mark's personal working kit — never rental stock, kept immaculate. Condition: Excellent $13,000 for everything, a $1,250 savings over buying separately. Available individually at $7,750 (lens) and $6,500 (support). Located in San Diego — inspection and pickup here only. Come see the whole rig assembled and run it yourself.
