Eyemo cameras, in crash housings, have proven to be one of the most cost effective ways to put a camera in harms way.
Our Eyemos are fitted with crystal motors ranging in speed from 4-50fps, reflex viewing systems and fl and white video assist.
Our crash package includes a reflex Eyemo, standard crash box, (4) 12 volt batteries, extension cables, and a set of Nikon lenses (15mm, 18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm).

  Eyemo - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Eyemo (sometimes written as Eymo) is a 35mm motion picture camera which was manufactured by the Bell and Howell corporation.
The Eyemo is a non reflex camera, viewing while filming is through an optical viewfinder attached to the camera door.
Eyemos feature a built in clockwork (spring wind) motor which, when winded by a ratchet key, runs about 20 seconds of film per winding (at the 24 frames per second speed), and can film at speeds from 8 to 48 frames per second.

It is one of three Eyemo cameras that he owns, including the “Spider,” which is equipped with rotating lenses, and a motorized model that draws power from a 24-volt battery.
Because the Eyemo cameras don’t provide reflex viewing, the cinematographer must measure distance and have an idea of depth of field.

 Eymo Camera [ Australian Cinematographers Society ]
The Bell and Howell Eyemo 35mm hand camera was a major part of the equipment used by newsreel companies all over the world in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.
A spring drive camera with a 100 foot load, the Eyemo is particularly rugged and practically indestructible.
Eyemos today are used in situations where there is danger from vehicles or explosions or as museum pieces usually in the offices or homes of aging cameramen lucky enough to be able to indulge in nostalgic reminiscences of their youth.

One of the museums was the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa (www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca) and I made an appointment with Anna Adamek, assistant to the curator, Collection and Research Division.
The Eyemo’s serial number is engraved on the side opposite the viewfinder, and most cameramen were photographed peering through the viewfinder, or holding the cameras in such a way as to allow a more pleasing photographic composition.
The Eyemo was first made by Bell and Howell in 1926 and was produced in a number of models, from a single-lens version through three different lens-turret models.

 Bell and Howell 71 - Super8wiki
Eyemo cameras found wide use as newsreel cameras in the 30's and 40's and were distributed in large numbers to American armed forces during WW2.
Eyemo mount lenses were manufactured by Cooke, Bausch and Lomb, Elgeet, General Scientific/Miltar, and others; some of the lenses are a bit soft but otherwise can intercut with footage from modern cameras, but the older ones are very primitive and exhibit vignetting, flare and corner distortion.
Eyemos were originally all parallax viewfinder cameras; some have been modified over the years for reflex viewing.

 David Russo, A Filmmaker in the Midst of Reinvention, by Bradley Steinbacher (10/14/04)
Russo's latest short film, The Van Gogh Thing, was shot in a dash at this year's Bumbershoot, and at the moment the finale for it languishes in his garage.
There is just one more shot to be created for the film, but like all of Russo's work, that shot is an absurdly complicated one, involving a near-finished camera mount, an ancient Eyemo camera, and a cutout of a fish.
The Eyemo is a camera meant for rugged use--it was sent out into the field with soldiers during World War II--but Russo's scheme may spell the end of it.

I sold my Eyemo a while back, but I do have several Filmos sitting around.
I know that BandH 70DR and 70HR Filmo doors (and possibly older models) have a small adjustable cam that puts pressure on a tapered metal pin which forces the film gate to lock when the door is closed.
If the Eyemo, in fact, has the same design, you'll see the cam located inside the door about a half-inch from the back edge and in line with the viewfinder.

A modified and motorized Eyemo was used to film action segments of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Bell and Howell made an Eyemo in 16mm called a Filmo (or 70-DR) that also has a 100 foot internal magazine.
Spring wound cameras are limited to silent shooting but they certainly are THE camera of choice for the guerrilla filmmaker, needing a small, tough, concealable 16mm camera, independent of electricity.

Eyemo would with standard load would run a bit more than a minute; 400 foot magazine a bit more than four minutes and a 1000 foot magazine about 10 minutes -- but both mags were awkward and the 1000 definitely required tripod.
By the 1960s, Eyemos were scarce, but I ran into one old reprobate (he'd covered the attack on Shanghai in 1937) in 1963.

 Profile: Mike Ferra
The 35mm Eyemo, designed by Bell and Howell as a newsreel camera and which was used extensively in World War II, was a rugged, wind-up military camera and being so small it could be positioned in tight places for unusual angle shots.
Taking his innovative idea further, Ferra has retrofitted the Eyemo, stripping the camera down and refitting the shutter system, replacing the spring driven, wind-up system with a lightweight motor, and in general refining the rugged little camera’s capabilities to meet today’s high-tech demands.
Some other refinements to the Eyemo include a reflex viewfinder (to replace the parallax original), a crystal controlled motor, and a wireless remote focus and operating feature.

However, if you're doing anything of any significant length, there may be very little cost savings between shooting super-16 and blowing up, vs. shooting on 35mm in the first place.
When you consider you can get an Eyemo 35mm for usually under $1000 and a Konvas 35mm for usually under $1500, it makes it harder to justify going with super16 for blowup.
However, be aware neither the Konvas nor the Eyemo are what you would call "quiet"...
