A 35mm Mitchell BNCR camera owned by Disney Studios. This updated Mitchell BNCR camera featuring blimp housing for sound-shooting and a lens mount for the reflex viewer so operators could view action through the lens while filming was sold to Disney in May 1955, then converted to Reflex in 1969.

Composed primarily of metal and plastic, it features engraved labels for audio plug-ins and visual input; housing for a dummy lens; and a plaque with serial number "BNCR-163 E-3482." The camera's internals are in good overall condition and complete, and it still maintains its original paint finish with "BNC 325" stenciled in white on the magazine. A metal "Cinema Product Development" plaque on the side is for a boxy motor, which was added to the camera later on. Also included is a wood tripod and a Worrall geared head, though the head exhibits damage and requires work to stay intact as a unit. The lot also exhibits chipped paint, grime, and fragile components. Dimensions: 48" x 24" x 14" (122 cm x 61 cm x 35.5 cm)

Contains electronics and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
