Hi RED community,

I work in the UK but I'm in NYC for a week and I want to exploit the exchange rate and buy some more accessories.

could any of you locals suggest a great place to get accessories (matte box and follow focus mainly) in and around NYC. second hand is fine. just really desperate to go shopping for some kit.

thank you in advance

BHPhotoVideo for general accessories.

Can you get on the web and buy stuff through RED.com and have it shipped back to the UK?

Best if you know what you want going in and call ahead to make sure they've got it. Customer service isn't their strong suit. Competitive pricing is. And the 'retail experience' is worthwhile...

You'll probably find more quality kit and advice from www.abelcine.com - do a Reduser search for Mitch Gross, they'll sort you out nicely.

And if you want to be really exhaustive: http://www.newyork411.com/

HAVE FUN. Just spent a weekend in the UK and was destroyed by the pound. Worth it for the pubs tho...

Abel Cine Tech, they have deals for Red packages as well.
