For small TV productions and animation shots, the 16mm Bolex camera can be used. Mark Roberts Motion Control can fit a computerized motor to the camera to give full control of the camera from the software and synchronize its movements to the rest of the motion control rig. Of course this is also very useful for stop-frame animation and time-lapse photography.

Another very common request is to fit a Video Assist to an existing camera. Bolex cameras do not generally have a video assist although that is a very useful feature. Due to the variety of Bolex cameras, the design of the video assist system MRMC manufactures varies from camera to camera but the photos here show the general idea that is applied to any Bolex camera. Prices start at about £2,000 per camera.
