Description:

This Photec camera is the baby-brother of the well known Photo-sonics 4B 35mm high speed cameras - indeed the company was bought by Photosonics. A rotating prism camera, originally a standard 16mm camera, now engineered at Pirate to shoot Super 16mm. The camera now runs 100 - 3,000 fps and takes 400 foot day light loads. Camera mount is Mamiya 645 and comes with a 50mm lens fitted: Pirate will hire other lenses to order. Viewfinder is side mounted, allowing the D O P a through the lens view prior to racking over for a take. Please note that there is no video assist with this camera. If necessary, the camera will also run at 200-6,000 fps with half frame pictures and 400-12,000 fps with quarter frame pictures.
