1. H16 RX-5 Camera
The World-famous Bolex H16 Reflex camera, adapted to take an interchangeable
400 ft. magazine. 100 ft. spools can also be used.Code: REXFA
2. MST stabilized speed motor (for all H16 cameras equipped with
a drive ratio of 1:1)
The following models are available:-
a) without pilot sound generator and without clapper device, 16
2/3 f.p.s. for time and motion study filming, speed equivalent to
1000 frames per minute.Code: PERTI
b) with automatic electric clapper device and pilot sound generator:
- 25 f.p.s. for films used by European TV stations
50 ~ AC (PILOTTON and NEOPILOTTON systems) Code: CLAEU
100 ~ AC (PERFECTONE system) Code: CLAFA
- 24 f.p.s., 50 ~ AC for commercial films used in Europe (PILOTTON
and NEOPILOTTON systems) Code: CLAIX
- 24 f.p.s., 60 ~ AC for commercial films used in U.S.A. and
films for American TV stations. (RANGERTONE system). Code: CLAAM
3. Bolex Battery
This battery is made up of ten SAFT-Voltabloc cadmium-nickel insulated
cells. A rectifier, allowing for mains recharging (110 to 250 v.,
50 or 60 C/S), and a voltmeter are built in. The battery capacity
is approximately twenty-five 100 ft. spools or five 400 ft. magazines,
at 24 or 25 f.p.s. The battery can be used as a power supply even
during recharging, as it acts as a "buffer" to the mains
current. Code: BATAC
4. 400 ft. Magazine
The 400 ft. magazine can be loaded either with the 400 ft. centre-piece
or the 200 ft. spool. In both cases, a counter shows how much film
remains unexposed. The small MM motor (code: CASMO) ensures constant
film winding tension, whatever the diameter of the film core used.
Code: CASFA
5. "Electric" Hand Grip
This grip is designed for H8 and H16 Reflex cameras with flat bases
and equipped with an electric motor. With its rapid attachment device,
it can be mounted or removed in seconds. Code: HAFEL
6. Electric Motor
This new variable speed motor, powered by a battery unit (five
6v batteries), enables long scenes to be shot without interruption,
such as sporting events, scientifc or documentary films.Code: MOLEC
Within the next few months it will be possible to use this motor
with the 400 ft. magazine and its MM film winding motor, providing
it is powered by 8 6v batteries and used in conjunction with the
Bolex voltage regulator. Code: MOREG
7. 5 6v Batteries in carrying case
For powering the MOLEC electric motor Code: MOCIN
8 6v battery unit
For powering the MOLEC electric motor and the MM winding motor,
for use only in conjunction with the voltage regulator. Code: MOBBE
One 6 v battery Code: MOBAT
8. RX-Fader (for H16 RX and H8RX cameras)
This device automatically and smoothly opens and closes the variable
shutter of the camera. It is particularly useful for achieving easy,
professional-quality fades and lap dissolves. The RX_fader cannot
be used with an electric motor.
For H16RX camera Code: FADOM
For H8RX camera Code: FADUI
