pro8mm is pulling more then just your leg! they are crooked and misleding & they will use whatever sucker to there advantage to continue to misled people! (That might be you!) all they do is widen the gate and offset the viewfinder and remove the gel and brass frame that holds it, quit looking for ...

Yeah I will post some pics up and im going to shoot an instruction video that shows step by step how to widen the gate and everything else people can benefit from but for the beaulieu 4008 only! I have a couple of pics on my profile of my super 8, I painted it and added a quick release plate, its ...

yeah I wouldent buy that camera, thats my opinion! its like buying a car you pick the one you like! but regardless of the model everybody wants nice rims and tires right? go with the flow! Just because I wont buy the camera dosent stop you from getting use out of it until it dies! why not max it out ...

all this super duper wide gate info applys to you, 5008 has the same priciples as the 4008, therefore you can max out the gate! dont get left behind in this game!

Wow! 2 pages in on this topic and its still going!

wado 1942 you feeling okay? the topic is about video taps, not frame distance, are you the type of person that likes to twist the forum topic around? thank god im closing this account!

No that tiny ccd camera is crap!

Bolex video tap, I made mine from foam, prototype, test it with the ccd camera, write down the measurements send it to a machine shop that uses that machine that cuts and shapes parts, I dont remeber the name but I see it used on american chopper tv show, its a wet laser cuting machine, they enter ...

I found a ccd camera that is the shape of a bullet in color, low lux, since the viewfinder and the ccd camera is the same shape I decided to extract the viewfinder assembly and replace it with the bullet cam, the ccd camera is sold local where I live, I dident buy it off the internet, the store is ...

I dont know anything about the 6008 to say yes or no but the guy that built the pic chip says it will work on any motor!

30 minutes to shoot, Boston flavor! enjoy!

Theres a misleding reply here by aj (andre), this topic is about offsetting the viewfinder inside the camera body not offseting the gate, thats misleding information.

when you film with a wide gate the picture is offset, so by moving the viewfinder over a bit it will bring the frame into ...

yes jerry lewis is the video tap inventor! I would never take that credit from him!

I tried this last year on a bolex rx1 using a cheap ccd camera and it worked, I removed the viewfinder all together and adapted the camera to the top of the opening, the trick to adding a video tap on a camera is finding lowest lux cdd cam but there's a video tap made for the bolex that couples to ...

Ha! A beaulieu with out the viewfinder, how can ya focus? very easy! im removing the viewfinder assembly, im going to install a low lux 000.3 ccd
bullet camera in place of the viewfinder assembly, lets just call it an internal video tap, the ccd camera will sit right in front of the reflex glass vs ...
