Camera Weight


Nate Downes

Recommended Posts

I've been trying to figure out how to work within a budget I've been given on a project and ran into an issue. I can't find weight numbers for some of the cameras I've been looking at, so I can price out supports for them. Does anyone know the unloaded weights of:

 

Mitchell S35R

Arri BL2

Kinor 35H

Moviecam

 

?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

My BL2 weights about 30lbs with an empty mag, and the prime lens blimp/no lens.

 

All the Best!

From my 1981 Edition of Verne and Sylvia Carlson's "Professional Cameraman's Handbook".

 

Mitchell S35R

 

39# (400' load)

43# (1000' load)

 

Blimp

93# (less camera)

 

Arri 35BL2

 

25# (400' load)

28# (1000' load)

 

From my 1980 ASC Manual

 

Moviecam

 

27# (500' load and 50mm lens)

 

PM Olex Kalynychenko (a forum member) for the Kinor data - he'll know.

 

An afterthought: The Carlson's book is a treasure trove of information for older cameras. For instance: The 1980 ASC Manual has 3 pages of info on my Arri 2, The Carlson's book has 19 pages including accessories, 11-1/2 on the camera itself!
