Eyemo

The Eyemo is a 35 mm motion picture film camera which was manufactured by the Bell & Howell Co. of Chicago.

It is often used these days as a "crash-cam" for filming dangerous stunts and explosions, and shots in which the camera must be dropped from a building or other elevation.

The 2000 film 'Requiem For A Dream' utilized an Eyemo camera with a Nikon lens mount for POV 'snorricam' shots where it was attached to the actors.

Eyemos feature a built-in clockwork (spring wind) motor which, when wound by a ratchet key, can shoot about 20 seconds of film per winding at standard 24 fps (frames per second) speed, and also runs at speeds of four through 64 fps, depending on the model.

Various government and military organizations used specialty motion picture cameras based on the eyemo mechanics for scientific tests and filming.
