DESIGNED FOR
H The advantages of shooting motion pictures with a hand-held camera has had a direct influence on the design of both the newer portable cameras and shoulder-support apparatus for use with conventional cameras, both 35mm and 16mm. On this page are pictures and descriptions of three relatively new cameras with built-in shoulder rests for hand-held shooting plus some interesting supporting apparatus that affords similar convenience for newsreel and other mobile camermen who work with professional 16mm cameras.
^ PROBABLY THE FIRST AND ONLY portable
camera for wide-screen photography with 65mm film is Panavision's Panaflex 65, weighing but 30 pounds, fully equipped and loaded.
The 500-foot magazine mounts on the camera at an angle and rests on the operator's shoulder to provide solid support for hand¬ held shooting. When not used as a hand-held camera, the pistol grip and curved shoulder support are readily detachable so camera may be used tripod-mounted. In the works is a new, improved reflex model having same ap¬ pearance, positive reflex viewing, and a follow-focus finder and 1000-foot magazines as companion equipment.
THE NEW FRENCH ECLAIR 16MM REFLEX camera is of radically new design, but retains the basic reflex and detachable film magazine features of the Eclair Camerette. Like the Panaflex and the Mitchell Mark II Reflex (pictured below) the new Eclair 16mm Reflex is so designed that the magazine rests on the operator's shoulder to provide support for the camera when used hand-held.
A COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT, INVERTED 400-foot magazine that mounts back and below the cam^ era and also provides a rubber-cushioned int denture between the film chambers that serves as a shoulder rest, is a salient feature of the new Mitchell Mark II Reflex 35mm camera. The camera's full aperture 128 fps movement is keyed and can be removed and replaced without need for re-timing. Reflex finder image is exceptionally brilliant. Assuring optimum exposure over entire frame area is a focal-plane variable-disc shutter. A built-in sync signal generator enables camera to be used for synchronous sound recording with remote magnetic tape recorders.
