📝 Description

The Mitchell BNCR (Blimped Newsreel Camera Reflex) was a standard studio camera in Hollywood for decades. It was known for its reliability and was used to film many classic movies, including 'The Godfather'. The camera was 'blimped,' meaning it was housed in a soundproof casing to prevent the noise of the camera's internal mechanics from being picked up by the microphones during filming. It is a heavy, cast-iron piece of cinema history.
