The Beaulieu R16 is a lightweight camera with a pistol grip that is great to hand-hold. It has a 3 port C mount turret that allows for interchangeable lenses. The viewing system is a mirror shutter type that eliminates the need to compensate for flange/focal distance. It has a wide fps range, from 2 to 64. It can run in reverse, but only with internal 100′ loads. It is worth noting that the lightweight design has one drawback, which is that Beaulieu R16 should be handled gently or problems will occur, wepecially when using long heavy zoom lenses.
