Beaulieu R16 Movie camera

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

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

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