Jason Maeda Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 how long will a bolex run after a full wind before it needs to be wound again? i can't seem to find the answer to this question on the bolex sites. does it change from model to model, or are they all about the same? thanks guys, jk :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted March 7, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted March 7, 2004 I do believe it has to do with what speed you are running the camera at. I think the spring is good for a certain number of frames, not a particular length of time. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Hamrick Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 A Bolex wind is good for about 16 feet if memory serves me correctly.The amount of camera time depends of course on the fps rate.Jason,there is a wealth of information out there on Bolex cameras.Just type bolex on a search and you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know.

Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted March 8, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted March 8, 2004 Jason, You might also want to look at Andrew Alden's web site. It covers all things Bolex and he really is an expert. You can find him at the web address below. http://www.btinternet.com/~andrew.alden1/index.html Good Luck, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
