This is a one time only sale for two underwater 16mm motion picture camera packages FOR ONE PRICE. This a great setup for someone interested in a career in wildlife cinematography, independent filmmaking or a way to broaden the shooting scope of a production company. These are two rare camera systems, only 5 of the GSMO systems were made and the Cousteau is a one off custom housing designed by a Cousteau cameraman when he ventured out on his own. Trying to find any housing comparable today will cost you around $25,000.00 to buy or $600.00 a day in rental cost.
Here you get two, a primary camera with Reflex viewing and a second B camera for a back up or second angle. If you have waited for a great piece to help your career then here they are. It took me 2 years and hundreds of hours to find these cameras. When I first started a wind up Bolex was the best out there, with only 3 minutes worth of shooting time interrupted by stopping and winding my camera hopping the animal would wait around.
Here you get uninterrupted shooting and capabilities to shoot higher frame rates. If you’ve seen NATURE on PBS or “The Blue Planet†on the Discovery Channel, then you’ve seen what these cameras can produce in stunning underwater footage.
If you have any questions or need more detailed high-resolution pictures feel free to e-mail me and I’ll get those e-mailed out to you. I’m looking for a good home for these cameras to better someone’s career in filmmaking.
These camera’s have never been rented. They are well maintained.
