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.
