High Speed Cameras
Photo-Sonics pioneered the development of modern high-speed photographic equipment starting in the 1950’s with their range of high-speed film cameras. Our products quickly became established as the industry standard and served the needs of the rapidly expanding aerospace and defence industries.
Models 16mm - 1PL, 16mm - 1VN, 16mm – 1B, 35mm – 4EL, 35mm - 4B and 70mm - 10RL were manufactured in high volumes and hundreds of units were shipped around the globe. Although recent advances in high-speed digital photography have provided an alternative technology many cameras are still in use today.
We continue to support our film camera customers and our fully trained service department keep a stock of parts and used film equipment. If you require service for your film camera or want to add to your stock please contact us, we’ll be happy to help. An updated list of our used film camera and accessories stock is shown below.
