Cinema Products CP-16 R/A: $1250.00
A portable, reflex, 16mm production camera noted for reliability and ease of use. It’s integral shock mounting allows for silent/sync use without blimping, making it ideal for field interview work or studio application. It has the capability for single, as well as double system, sound use (sound head not included).
This camera is the most sturdy and flexible of cameras from this time period. You will find the optical and sound quality comparable to more complex cameras, but none are as reliable and easy to operate as the CP-16R/A.
The CP-16RA viewfinder employs a reflex type viewing system which transmits 100% of the light entering the lens to your eye. This is done by utilizing a rotating mirror which has two pie-shaped sections cut out of it. As the mirror rotates, it reflects light into the viewing system. The butterfly mirrored shutter design is also used by Panavision and Arriflex for their professional cameras.
The viewfinding system has a diopter adjustment which corrects the optical system for individual eyesight.
On the rear of the camera are a group of controls along with the battery testing meter. The FPS knob selects the frames per second, from 36 FPS (slow motion) to 24 FPS (sync) to 12 FPS (fast motion).
The CP uses external magazines which may be loaded before they are attached to the camera body. The magazines will hold 400’ core loads or daylight spools. This camera has 2 mags.
The CP has two ways to filter light as it passes into the camera. One technique utilizes a small gel holder which fits in a slot inside the camera, just in front of the camera pressure plate. You can use Wratten gel type filters. The camera has storage space for 3 additional holders to the rear of the sound/dummy head.
Rebuilt batteries can be purchased from:
