Grum Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I've tried my usual suppliers (PRG, Siyan and Bandit) but haven't had any joy. Just thought I'd ask on here seeing as I can't phone any companies on a Sunday. Does anybody know a company that carries the Highend Showpix? I need to hire between 6 and 12 from the end of this month until the end of August. Any help greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bleasdale Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I was told Neg have about 16 of them, I only found out via someone else as it is not listed on their website. I may have been miss informed, but worth a call anyway. Failing that give Mark Leahy a call, he is the European Sales manager for HES, he will know of others. http://www.highend.com/contactus/worldwide_offices/ Hope that helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokm Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 IIRC Procon (now PRG) had/have some.. is there no chance of them shipping them over to the UK from whichever of they're many locations they could be at? Another thought, bit of a shocker I know.. Whitelight. A colleague of mine (an occasional freelance for them) claims he saw a few in the warehouse not long ago. Do let us know if you have any luck finding any/from who, could be useful to know in the future. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Having spoken to Mark at Highend I now know that nobody currently carries either the showpix or the studiopix in stock in the UK. I'm now seriously looking at purchasing half a dozen. Anyone interested in hiring them after August???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bleasdale Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm now seriously looking at purchasing half a dozen. Anyone interested in hiring them after August???? Depends on the price. But I have wanted them a few times in the past. However I could only hire for a few weeks per year... I do know of an american company who has a stock of them, maybe you would consider shipping them over? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I would have thought shipping from mainland Europe would be cheaper if considering that option. I can give you a contact for an excellent company in Hungary but surely there's someone closer? For that length hire period it might be more cost effective to ship in rather than purchase.

Joe Bleasdale Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I am very surprised PRG cant "aqquire" some from somewhere... But yes, maybe mainland Europe would be a better option. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
