History and Features
Originally introduced in 1969, this standard 16mm camera quickly became Photo-Sonics' most popular high-speed instrumentation film camera. Its compact, self-contained design requires only external power to operate. The speed of the camera is controlled with high accuracy by a digital phase-locked servo system, offering a range from 10 to 500 frames per second (fps). This versatility makes it suitable for a wide array of high-speed filming applications.
The Photo Sonic 16mm-1PL is constructed with ruggedized components, ensuring durability and functionality even in harsh environments. The film magazines, available in 200' and 400' capacities, are designed for ease of use, allowing for quick and straightforward loading and swapping in just a few seconds.
Superior Image Stability
One of the standout features of this camera is its remarkably steady image capture. It achieves this through the use of two pulldown claws and two registration pins that slide into the film perforations, securing the film in place. The rotating shutter then opens to expose the film. This mechanism, known as pin registered movement or intermittent film movement, ensures minimal film jitter, providing a clear and stable image.
In summary, the Photo Sonic 16mm-1PL High-Speed Film Camera is a robust and precise tool for high-speed cinematography, celebrated for its durability, ease of use, and exceptional image stability. Whether for scientific research, industrial applications, or creative projects, this camera delivers reliable performance in capturing high-speed events with remarkable clarity.
