I have to ask, even though I'm pretty certain you're not interested. I've been looking high and low for someone who would be willing to trade their Video Toaster 1.0/2.0 card for my portable studio camera. If I may, I'll post the specs here. The reason I can only trade is apparent. I'm currently not gainfully employed and I can only offer my camera as a trade incentive. Please give it serious consideration, even if you must say no. Thanks. ———————————- The camera comes with a high-impact carry case (2 lock keys), professional field tripod with locking wheels, power supply/battery recharger, 6' coaxial cable with BNC connections, and an operations manual.
