VLVL2 (15): Check This Out ...

[Dave Monroe]

   "'Think that fuckin' Hector set us up?' it had
occured to Flash.
   "'Maybe not.  Check this out.'  There he was, and a
full film crew too, lights, a Panaflex, some hand-held
Arris...."  (VL, Ch. 15, p. 355)


Panaflex

In 1972, Panavision president and founder Robert
Gottschalk unveiled the first Panaflex silent reflex
camera.... Its groundbreaking modular design ...
allowed for unparalleled versatility. Capable of
performing as a fully-featured studio camera, and
accommodating Panavision's widely popular lenses, the
Panaflex could be quickly reconfigured into a
lightweight, handholdable unit. Additionally, it
incorporated state-of-the-art electronics, ergonomic
styling, and a fully compatible set of standardized
accessories. 

The Panaflex camera made its feature-film debut on
Steven Spielberg's first studio project, The Sugarland
Express, which was photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond,
ASC ... In 1978, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences honored Panavision and its engineering
staff with an Academy Award of Merit (Oscar) for the
concept, design, and continuous development of the
Panaflex. Over the course of the following decade, the
camera platform — dubbed the Golden Panaflex — would
become a standard for the motion picture industry.

p. 355 "Panaflex" = an innovative 35mm studio camera,
made by Panavision, Inc. It's the world standard, used
for everything from wide-screen epics to deodorant
commercials. It makes a nice contrast with all the
"underground" Arris and Auricons.
