Applications
High-speed 16mm film cameras were standard instrumentation for ballistics testing, crash analysis, fluid dynamics, and other transient phenomenon documentation from the 1960s–1980s. The KB-19A operates as a strike camera—a self-contained imaging system that records on 16mm film cartridges. Equipment of this type integrates with laboratory measurement systems and operates independently via mechanical or electronic triggering. Typical users include aerospace, military, and research institutions requiring frame-by-frame analysis of rapid events.
This Photo-Sonics KB-19A 16mm High Speed Motion Picture Strike Camera with LB-24A 100' magazine is being sold AS-IS due to its age. The movement rotates freely by hand and the gearing feels smooth, but the camera has not been powered or operationally tested, and no functionality is guaranteed. The lens shows noticeable coating crazing or cracking visible in the photos — buyers should inspect the lens images carefully before purchasing. The white-painted body shows general wear including scuffing and paint loss in several areas, consistent with field or storage use. Some units in our stock have exposed 16mm film remaining in the magazine; the unit you receive may or may not have film present. We have multiple units available and the specific unit shipped may vary from the one photographed, but will be functionally equivalent in configuration. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
