Our Thoughts
The Bolex EBM 16 (Super 16 Gate Upgrade) is a beautifully modified 16mm camera that blends classic Swiss engineering with modern enhancements for today’s filmmakers. Upgraded to a Super 16 gate, this camera delivers a wider field of view, improved resolution, and a more cinematic aspect ratio, making it ideal for high-end productions looking for the rich, organic texture of film. The electric motor drive (EBM) allows for precise frame rates and smoother operation, while the quartz-controlled speed system ensures rock-solid reliability. Known for its rugged, compact design, the Bolex EBM is perfect for handheld, documentary, and experimental filmmaking, offering a truly unique aesthetic that stands out in any visual medium. The small size also makes it great for gimbal use.
