Design of a New 65mm Handheld Camera

Douglas Fries

Mitchell Camera Corp. and Todd-AO Corp. cooperated to determine the requirements of a handheld 65mm camera to meet all the unusual demands of motion-picture production. There were special problems in designing a new, all-purpose camera of professional motion-picture quality that would be versatile and at the same time meet the four major requirements of mobility, flexibility, ease of operation and reliability. The basis for establishing these requirements and their effect on the design of the camera are discussed.
