New Eclair ACL: half the size and half the weight! Sync sound and silent running in a camera that weighs SVi pounds and is less than a foot long. Ken Nelson has made a short documentary film with an ACL. "In the past, I've always looked around for a place to rest the camera between shots," says Mr. Nelson. "But with this new one, I found it didn't occur to me to put it down." With its 200 foot magazine and without a lens, the ACL weighs less than 9 pounds and measures 11'/^ inches from front to back. Half the size of its competitors. Less than half the weight. This is the most inconspicuous camera on the market. It's completely silent, of course. Hand-held, it's much smaller and lower than your head, as you can see. The bat tery weighs about a pound and fits into your pocket. And the .ACL is jast. You can change its dip-on magazine in less than five seconds. No threading; no need to touch the film at all. Film maker Kric Saarinen says: "This is the first silent camera that you can run with." The ACL has a crystal-control motor. Sync sound with no connection whatever between camera and tape recorder. Fantastic accuracy. Sync error is less than V^ frame in one continuous 200 foot take. That "s «,()(){) frames. What else? A universal lens mount that lets you use any lens with any mount. Extremely bl and precise reflex viewing, wl viewfinder that rotates 360 degl And a price that's consider) lower than the competition.
