Please be assured that the effect on our ability to fulfil orders is minimal as we are already working closely with our key partners to replenish \u2018lost\u2019 stock on an accelerated basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I do a lot of work with CVP (I represented them at BVE through talks just a few days ago) and buy most of my gear from them (including my new C300). They are pretty much one of the biggest dealers for professional TV equipment in the UK. This is a lot of gear, and the only place it can really end up is on sale through dodgy channels. If you see any of the above gear for sale new and its price is too good to be true, then be careful. Don&#8217;t buy anything without getting the serial number of the gear first and making sure it is kosher by using the above linked stolen equipment register! Be safe by only buying from dealers!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A lot of this gear was about to be shipped out to people. I know of at least one person, my friend Paul Joy who helped me with the Christmas shootout , whose C300 has just come in and was one of the cameras stolen, and that really sucks. All because of \u00a0dirty stinking thieving gits!!
