I’m having a problem loading my film. When I load the feed side of the mag and run the film through the take up side, I plug the mag into the camera and do a test run but there’s a bad sound and the film gets spooled up in the feed opening, there’s too much slack that doesn’t go away when winding, and the stock gets punctured. Is there any way to fix this? I changed to a different mag and it’s still a problem.

When I start rolling it makes a bad sound and the film has punctures in it.

When I load my film stock there’s always slack that doesn’t change when I spin the wheel. It causes my stock to get destroyed when I roll the camera

Or are there any tools available for shooting Arriflex SR 16mm handheld, like shoulder rigs, etc?
