Beaulieu R16 Movie camera

Here is a Beaulieu R16 16 mm cinema camera of French manufacture. In excellent condition, it looks almost new and all its functions are fully operational. This is a motorized version. It offers shooting speeds from 2 to 64 frames per second, switchable to 24 and 25 frames per second (FSB) for standard cinematic frame rates, thus enabling slow motion, time-lapses and other special effects.

It is equipped with a reflex viewfinder, interchangeable C-mount lens, and is compatible with 3-inch focus rings and zooms. It also incorporates a Gossen exposure meter for semi-automatic exposure measurement.

It is powered by an integrated battery in the handle or by an external power source. It can hold 30- or 60-meter film; a 60-meter spool provides 5 minutes of continuous shooting. The battery should however be replaced for normal operation. It is supplied with an Angenieux Zoom 17-68mm f/2.2 lens, in excellent condition, functioning perfectly and with a very clear and well-coated lens.
