Moviecam SL MKII


Moviecam SL (SuperLight) is a movie camera product line created by Moviecam in 1996 as a lighter version of the Moviecam Compact. It can use most of the same accessories as Moviecam Compact but allows for even easier shooting from the shoulder or with a support like Steadicam systems. In 2004, Moviecam released SL MK2, with updated drive system, support of 3 perforations negative pulldown and new electronics.

The SL MK2 was used to shoot 127 Hours, photographed by Enrique Chediak and Anthony Dod Mantle and directed by Danny Boyle.
