made in Germany by Ritter
This camera was built by Ritter company, a german importer, that acquired all Beaulieu cine stock. It seems an adaptation to 16:9 format from the Beaulieu 7008 Pro model.
(1) It accepts sound cartridges but had no recording facility.
(2) It accepts 60 meter cassette.
(3) Auto exposure can be used if the cine-camera is equipped with a Reglomatic-type lens.
(4) LCD footage and frame counter.
(5) It is same as Beaulieu 9008 S 16:9, but without sound recording on super 8 film.
