Hello fellow members.
I'm looking for four 800 foot reels.
I have a feature and need to cut down
from 2 x 1200 foot reels. So one take up
and three others for the feature. Please post me
or email me at garry.duffield@digitalpictures.com.au
Thanks Garry.

Garry, it is not cheap but you could consider in the future using a long play unit that allows you to use up to 2400 feet reels. So, think twice before cutting a feature down. Otherwise, 800 feet reels are easy to find.

Garry, I noticed someone in Sydney is selling 800ft reels on Gumtree. However, they aren't particularly cheap!

The seller says postage to USA only, but why not get in touch and see if he would be willing to ship to Australia.
