Description:

This Photosonics Actionmaster 200 is the smallest high-speed standard 16mm camera, the baby-brother of the Actionmaster 500, weighing only 1.5lb. Although this camera is not reflexed, it is usually used with our Angenieux reflexed lens (C-mount). The camera is extremely compact, making it a favourite amongst skydivers and underwater action cinematographers. The camera comes with either a 'pistol grip' or 'shoulder pad-pistol grip' combination giving on/off camera control. Speed is accurately controlled by a digital phase-locked servo system, ranging from 24 to 200 fps. Built to a high standard with ruggedised components, it is suitable for use in harsh environments, such as vehicle crash tests and missle testing! Film magazines (100' & 200') are easily swapped a within a few seconds. Like its big brother, the Actionmaster 500, the image is remarkably steady: there are two pulldown arms and two pins slide into film perforations holding the film steady, while a rotating shutter opens. That is, the mechanism is a pin registered movement, (aka 'intermittent film movement').
