help with kinor

[Guest alex ghirdan]

I just bought a kinor 16mm camera. It's motor is fixed at 25fps, will that affect the sound synch.

How and were can i get a battery and possily fix the fps, and get it to be super 16, how much would it cost. I'm new to this . thank you.

Hi Alex,

 

I had my Kinor 16 converted to S16 and PL mounted by Les Bosher

so I would suggest you contact Les for a price and information.

 

Also the "Smartgroup's Konvas Discussion forum" is a good source

of Information on mod's, conversions and general question regarding

Russian Motion Picture Cameras.

Commiecam is also a excellent source of information and links.

 

Cheers

Well if you're in Europe of the UK that's no problem

They're standard synch rate is 25fps

 

If you're in the US then there might be problem since it's 24fps here

 

If the camera has a Xtal speed (meaning rock-steady constant speed) motor

Then you won't have any problems if you're not screening from a projector.

 

The problems come when you screen footage shot on 25fps on a 24fps projector.

 

If you finish on video just get a telecine at 25fps not 24fps and you'll be okay.

 

sound is recorded in real time so if you're visuals play in real time it'll be okay...

 

You could shoot at 8fps or 64fps and still have it look and sound okay

If you project it at 8fps or 64fps or whatever the frame rate you shot on.

 

Good luck.
