Beaulieu R16 Movie camera

Here is a Beaulieu R16 16 mm cinema camera of French manufacture. In excellent condition, it seems nearly new and all of its functions are fully operational. This is a motorized version. It allows shooting rates from 2 to 64 frames per second, switchable to 24 and 25 frames per second (FSB) for standard cinematic frame rates, thereby 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 an integrated battery in the handle or by an external power source. It can hold 30 or 60 meter magazines; a 60-meter magazine allows 5 minutes of continuous shooting. The battery must, 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.
