For Sale: Light and Motion Mako Housing w/Sony PC100 DV camera:
$2500
http://www.rhkuw.com/makolm/makolm.html
This is a great deal. It is very rare to see a Light and Motion Mako for Sale.
Ok, here's the deal:
The camera and housing were purchased last April. The housing has a one year warranty and has about 3 months to go.
The Sony camera's only come with a 90 day warranty.
It is very rare for video housings to have any water damage or flood problems and in all the years I have been doing this I have
never had a problem. These 2 items are in pristine condition.
You also may want to know why I am selling this package:
I have a Light and Motion Blue Fin Housing for my Sony 900 camera. I purchased the Pc100 and Mako
at the same time and have not used this housing very much since I have the Blue Fin. I was using the pc-100
primarily as a still camera since it takes up to 1 mega pixal still images on a sony memory stick. I have decided to
purchase an Olympus digital still camera to use for my still work and a Sony vx 2000 for top side video while using my Blue Fin for underwater.

The PC-100 comes with original box, manuals, 2 8 hour batteries, 64 meg memory stick, serial port memory stick adapter for your pc, software, and polarizing filter.
It is in perfect shape. The Mako comes with the zoom macro lens, standard back, and both electronic handles.
The retail price for the Mako is $2400 ( you can probably get it new for about 15% less ) and the best mail order price I've seen for the PC-100 is about $1400 without the bigger batteries. The 64meg memory stick is about $100.
