Don H Marks Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I put together a simple intervalometer for one of my Bolex cameras. The design uses a Radio Control Vehicle servo and a simple 'servo tester' box that cycles the servo at various speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don H Marks Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 The servo cycles back and forth and pushes the frame release forward via a spring-loaded lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Liu Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 That's really cool - great idea! I have made a few things with hobby servos before - but never thought of something movie camera related. I found this guy a few days ago. He is making a new animation motor for Bolex H16 and H8 models - and from what I can see - it can also maintain a steady 24 fps or 25fps too.

Don H Marks Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 That is very nice, thank you for the link. I built mine to try time-laps to see if I like it before buying gear I might not use much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
