CONDITION:
These items have been used on several of ReefNet's research expeditions. Despite inevitable exterior blemishes, all components are clean and in excellent working condition. All optics are in very good condition. Internals and electronics are in PERFECT condition. Housing and accessories have been regularly serviced/upgraded by Light & Motion, and have always been meticulously cared-for. No components have ever flooded.
Note in particular that the remote monitor has just been serviced and has BRAND NEW batteries, never used. Also note that all the other batteries included (camera & lights) are less than 2 years old and in excellent condition. Most are less than 1 year old.

If you're interested in seeing what sort of video this system is capable of capturing, here is a 15 minute montage from ReefNet's 2004 research trip to San Andres, Colombia. Also refer to our latest DVD for about 1400 clips taken with this system.

In short, you can expect to get absolutely first-rate results.
PRICE:
The original price for this system was around $10000. My asking price for the complete, ready-to-dive system is 4950 USD, including shipping anywhere in the US/Canada. I am willing to ship overseas but you will have to pay the extra cost. Payment by Paypal is preferred, but I can also accept direct credit card payment (via ReefNet), or money order.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly by email (wilk AT reefnet DOT ca) or by phone (888-819-REEF or 905-608-9373).
Thanks for looking,
