This 35mm cine camera has a detachable 400' magazine and a three-lens turret. Electrically driven with speed set on a tachometer reading between 10 and 30 frames/second, the camera has a single claw mechanism and two register pins. The continuous drive mechanism is contained within the detachable magazines. The camera has a reflex viewfinder via a mirror shutter through the lens. The camera looks to be based on the Eclair Cameflex, though without the sophistication of the through-the-lens viewfinder. Few were manufactured and those were sold in the Britain, America and the Netherlands.
