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 of 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 cinema speeds, thus enabling slow motion, time-lapses, and other special effects.

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

It is powered by an integrated battery in the grip or by an external power source. It can hold 30 or 60 meters of film; a 60-meter film allows 5 minutes of continuous shooting. However, the battery should 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.
