Kinor 35h Russian film camera weight and suitability for handheld steadicam operation

19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Kinor 35h is a Russian 35mm film camera requiring 18 volts power supply.
  • The Kinor 35h weighs approximately the same as a BL4 camera, putting it in a heavy category for steadicam work.
  • The Kinor 35h features steadi mags, video tap capability, and a removable eyepiece.
  • An ARRI 235 represents the practical upper weight limit for handheld steadicam work with basic EFP rigs.
  • Slow Motion Inc. in Los Angeles specializes in Russian and modified Russian film equipment and can provide information on these cameras.

Depends on

  • The weight comparison to BL4 was recalled from memory and not independently verified in the thread.
  • No definitive conclusion was reached about whether the Kinor 35h could be successfully flown on a basic steadicam rig.
  • The experience referenced was specific to one potential operator's assessment.
  • No technical specifications beyond power requirements and weight class were documented.
