If the film does not load as in photo 2, it would depend from the little metal tongue which I framed well in this photos.
Or... is the entire piece of metal only screwed too far to the left (also because the little tongue is of very hard metal and there isn't sign of bending): I can make this test ...

Another Bolex, again Rex 3 and not modificated for Double Super 8, with right metal part as mounted like on my machine. I believe it is the confirmation of correct assembly of that part.

Ah, interesting, I had never seen, from inside, the Double Super 8 conversion! Although, the ad that I had found the photos sold as Double 8, if I seerching it must warn the seller, may He not know!

However, you confirm that the pieces of metal at right (indifferently if is a camera for Double ...

And this antoher Rex 4. This model not have the right part of the mechanism and it is threading as in photo 1 , despite the white arrow is always the same (it's Rex 4, like my model).
So also the Rex 4 have different types of mechanisms.

Hi, Mmechanic! :)
I mailed the Bolex, they have that I should call, for now I can't call in Switzerland. I thought about send it, but at the moment I can not ship a camera that MAYBE is fully functional.
But I must contradict you, the piece is mounted well, look at this photo:

I curl beacuse the test film is old and very curly... I also tested without the "ball", with another new test film, it is the same story.
And not "Nobody does this", someone (of course, not all!) does something on the tip of the film, I saw some video and read some manual, someone "smooth" the tip ...

And take into account that:
- The part of the camera where the white arrows are printed is the same as the other models, to save productions of piece, not done one specific for Rex 4
- The mechanism where you should put the film in the photo 2 is different from the other Rex, only TOP looks ...

Thank you, guys!
I'm talking about on the various forum, but, in my opinion, there is confusion.
Of course, I'm talking about this topic with modesty, for see if the problem is of my camera or not, and to inform a possible curiosity of Bolex H8 Rex 4
None model of H8 has the mechanism that goes ...

I tried to explain to a friend a difference of threading of a Bolex H8 Rex 4 , compared to other models.
With the photo I'll explain.
Who has a Rex 4 confirms that the film is passed as in photo 1 and not as in photo 2?
My friend had doubts because the white arrow of loading seems to be heading ...

I really would like Pathé DS8 camera, but they are really too expensive. Of Bolex H series I already have the regular 8 version, which is excellent as we know, but I would have a different model.
The Canon Scoopic not cheap, but it's available and I like the shape of it, I put it in the list of ...

No, I found no answer, because research on the web I had already made​​ pre open-thread, no fine for my three questions. Only on the third I think I have a bit 'of certainty.
Okay, you've had a chance to take a Canon and you have not taken, because lacks the film, which is not true ...

At Wittner remained only the Fompan meterware, no longer has the Fomapam 10 meter, 30 meter and does not have the Velvia 50D. On film stock you're wrong totally.
On any site, including here on the forum, it's said that there is full compatibility with the Super 8 both projectors, sound and silent ...

I'm trying to make a point on the current situation of Double Super 8.

1) What is the best camera? What is the best for quality/price? Taking into account the possibility of reels of 100 feet and small.

2) All Super 8 projectors, sound and mute, are fully compatible with the Double Super 8, cut ...

You advise me a "strong" tripod but also very accurate, useful for regular 8, 9.5mm, single 8, etc.? I have a Velbon, but the vertical block doesn't work anymore because they loose for the use of my equipped Bolex H8 Rex4. So let's talk about very heavy cameras. But I'm also a maniac of very precise ...

I filmed a couple of movies with 7363: I wanted to make sense of "sci-fi" at first film, and it was nice to see some of the futurist buildings with a very strong white and a strong dark, with no grey "interludes", the' strange effect I wanted. Too bad that several seconds have come underexposed ...
