About the Item

Submitted for your consideration, is this Arriflex Professional Cinema Camera Blimp Housing. This unit is intended to have a cinema camera installed inside and acted as a soundproof housing when shooting sound and dialogue with the picture. This was the system used in the mid-20th century for sync sound filmmaking. This factory correct original camera housing is complete and in excellent condition with almost no use on the movie set. Beautifully made by hand in Germany. Included in the factory correct eyepiece, the zoom lens front housing, the 400 foot film magazine capability and other basic accessories. A cinema camera, tripod head or tripod legs are not included with this item, but available. The small head base shown is NOT included as this was how it was displayed in our gallery at one time. Other stone or wood bases available at no extra charge. This large 16mm cinematography camera housing makes for a great display sculpture on its own. It can be mounted on a vintage tripod at extra cost or just displayed on your pedestal or table or cabinet as a very significant artifact. We can electrify this camera housing at no extra charge, so the front lens port puts forth a soft glowing light to serve as a lamp or for another repurposed display use. Very difficult to find such a piece of Cinema history in such beautiful condition. ~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.~ NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted and intended to be at 'Designer Net' and 'To The Trade' price levels. However, we ALWAYS welcome discussions and exploration of your budgetary requirements and how we MAY be able to help meet those cost targets with ADDITIONAL discounts or courtesies. NOTE: Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern! We have a gallery showroom where all of our antiques are on display and we will gladly offer in person viewings of our antiques to any designers and buyers that need to 'put eyes' on our antiques. We welcome all visits to our gallery, by appointment. NOTE: In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards). Therefore some electrical and mechanical items MAY or may not perform and operate. We sell these as accurate display and collectible antique items. We suggest that these artifacts be used for display and not be operated. Please ask for more details on operability of our electrical and mechanical antiques if operability is a concern.
