Scott Bryant Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hey everyone, I’ve decided to sell my Ultra16 converted Éclair NPR kit. I bought it in 2008, and sent it to Bernie O’Doherty at www.super16inc.com for a simple clean, lube, alignment and convertion to Ultra16 aspect ratio. After that I shot about 15 rolls and then put it in my bedroom closet. It’s been there since and unfortunately I’m no longer shooting with it. I charged the battery and the camera runs, but I don’t have any film to run through it. The motor is a Perfectone. It has a Tobin TXM-6 crystal sync with 24 or 30 fps. The motor has a metal tripod base that can be removed for easier shoulder carrying. The lens is an Angenieux 12-120mm zoom f 2.2-22 with lens hood. There is also has a C-mount lens mount on the turret. It has a Kinoptik viewfinder (the shutter on the eyepiece is a little slower to close so some oil would maybe help that out). Included are two 400ft magazines. One made in England. One made in France. Included is a 12 volt battery with an over-the-shoulder pouch and power cord. The whole kit comes in two metal flight cases with foam padding (one for the magazines, one for the body/lens/battery). The camera is in good condition and is already converted for widescreen, either Ultra 16 or Super 16 can be achieved with the modified gate. Also included are rails, IndiFocus Pro Follow Focus with assorted gears, and a Harrison changing bag. I’ve uploaded some pics of it HERE. If you have any questions or want more pictures please let me know. If you’re interested let me know where you are and I’ll take it to get a shipping quote. I’m asking $1500 U.S. or best offer. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Oedel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hey Scott-- how loud does it run? Quiet enough for booming sound on site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bryant Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes, it's made to shoot sync sound. When you're next to it, you can hear a little whirl of the mechanism, but it wasn't a problem on any of my shoots and with a mic on a boom you should be plenty fine.

Ike Oedel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Seems like a really nice package... I can't really tell if there is enough difference between the NPR or an SR 2 or 3 to merit the price bump up for the latter cameras... I am definetly interested in buying, just trying to compare cameras before I buy (sorry! I know you want to sell fast!) This seems really great though.. aagh!

Scott Bryant Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Arri cameras. So I can't be much help on that part, but if you have any other questions I'd be happy to try to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bryant Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Feel free to make an offer, I'm certainly up for negotiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
