Panasonic VariCam LT with EF and PL mounts
A fantastic camera for single-shooter or small crew setups, with Zacuto’s shoulder pad/VCT receiver and top handle and plate. The dual native 800/5000 ISO is perfect for run-and-gun conditions, and the internal codec options of AVC-Intra/Intra 4K, ProRes 422 (2K) and up to 4444 XQ (2K) make this a versatile system for any job. The user-swappable PL and EF mounts mean it’s a good fit for a variety of lenses and types of shoots.
A few things to note — this is a used camera! As someone who has shot a lot of news, docs and run-and-gun footage, it’s got the marks to prove it. Some things about the camera to know before considering buying it:
*Cosmetic dings and marks (including some stubborn stickers from my old rental partner)
*Fraying at the connection point of the control panel cable — works completely fine and has never had any issues, but probably needs replacement eventually
*Flange distance adjustment was once broken, but repaired and calibrated by Panasonic in 2017 (this is a quirky thing about this camera, and probably never needs to be adjusted, but if you do need to adjust, do it very carefully and slowly)
*The battery plate was switched to a V-mount plate instead of the stock Gold mount
I’ve adjusted the price to reflect the above issues, and have resources if someone wanted to get these things fixed or looked at. That said, the camera is fully functional and shoots wonderful footage as is. Please send me a message if you're interested.
