The Eyemo is a 35mm motion picture film camera which was manufactured by the Bell & Howell Co. of Chicago. Designed and first manufactured in 1925, it was for many years the most compact 35mm motion picture film camera, having a 100-foot film capacity. Its small size and ruggedness made it a favorite choice for newsreel and combat cameramen as well as for fiction and documentary filmmakers whenever a portable, rugged, and inconspicuous camera was needed.
