So I am selling my Canon C300. I have spent quite a bit of time and money building it up to a cinema spec package that is a bit more flexible and robust on set but since purchasing an epic, it sees very little use, so sadly its time for it to go.
Firstly, it comes with everything that is in the c300 box but has had quite a few upgrades. Everything is detailed below. I do Still have the original box and instructions in a cupboard somewhere which I will dig out.
The camera works flawlessly, never had any issues
STANDARD KIT
Camera Body
LCD Screen
Side handle
Top Handle
Battery Charger
Mains Unit for running off plug
1x Canon Battery
All needed cables and plugs
EXTRAS AND UPGRADES
The first thing I bought was the Tilta c300 cage and top handle. This cage surrounds the camera, not only protecting it and making it much more versatile but also it can take a lot more weight when adding things like follow focus's, matte box, heavier lens etc. This means you can pick it up from the handle and not worry that its going to rip your camera in 2. It also incorporates top bars which is great for accessories, wireless follow focus motors etc.
I then bought 3 extra batteries. The kit has a total of 4 (3 small and 1 large, I know only 3 are pictured, but one is in the office and will be included in the kit). The Tilta cage has a dovetail system for hot swapping and mounting to tripods. I bought a longer dovetail and modified it to a RedRock Micro bean bag shoulder mount which is not only incredibly comfy but incredibly quick when swapping between handheld and sticks. You just leave the smaller dovetail attached to the tripod and slide on and off.
The package comes with a Hawks Wood D-tap cable for powering off V-Locks, although I don't plan on including the V-lock plate in the sale as I still use it with other things.
The kit also includes a Camrade waterproof splash cover. Its not an underwater housing but a great cover that will protect the camera when having to operate when its raining.
The whole kit does come in a peli case (calumet own brand) with padded dividers and I will also throw in a 32gb Sandisk card, Lanparte handheld bars, which are incredibly versatile and solid and a Lanparte monitor arm that works off 15mm bars (pictured). This can be stiff sometimes but works fine and never fails.
The 15mm bars are included, the longer ones are a bit worn and scruffy, but the shorter, top bars are in near new condition. Obviously this doesn't affect function, and is just general wear and tear from being on shoots.
THE ONLY BAD BIT
The only bad bit with the camera is on the c300 itself, the 1/4 inch screw on the bottom has become threaded. Meaning that when its out of the cage, you can't really use it. This has never been a problem for me, firstly because the 3/8 screw (the bigger one) is still fine, so attaching to a tripod etc isn't a problem. Secondly, I never take it out of the cage, so its irrelevant any way.
NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE
So the Tripod, matte box, follow focus, V-lock battery and lens are not included in the sale. I just put it all together to show you how it can be set up. The V-lock plate, as previously mentioned is not included in the sale either.
Just to clarify, the list below is what is included.
3x Extra genuine canon batteries (one large and 2 small)
Tilta cinema cage and top handle
Hawks Woods D-tap Charger
2x 15mm bar sets (4 total)
Longer dovetail and RedRock Bean bag shoulder support
Camrade water proof cover
Lanparte handheld bars
Lanparte monitor arm
Calumet own Brand Peli case.
Any questions, please fell free to ask. UK Sale only and buyer to pay postage fees or collect in person from either London or Guildford.

I was thinking around the 8000 GBP mark for everything, but open to sensible offers once I have seen if people are interested, then it might go on ebay.
Thanks again
