Super 8 Camera Rentals

Canon cameras (814 & Rhonda CAM) may be in stock and available for immediate shipping, however please check with a sales associate if you need your camera to ship within a few business days. Our Classic Pro camera is made to order, and may take several weeks. Please call and speak to a sales associate if you have questions about turnaround time.

Pro8mm’s cameras are rebuilt original Super 8 cameras. They are artfully re-crafted by our in-house team of technicians with decades of experience. We repair all aspects of the camera, including internal-structures, body, battery systems and more, so you are getting the very best camera with characteristics that surpass the original factory specifications.

Pro8mm works on select Beaulieu and Canon camera models. We currently repair the Beaulieu 4008 series, Classic Pro, Canon 814 Auto Zoom, Canon 514xl, Canon 310xl, Pro814, RhondaCam and RhondaCam Deluxe.

Max8 cameras can shoot with any normal super 8 cartridge. This includes both pro8 and super 8 film stocks. The modification is in the camera, not the film. The advantage of shooting on max 8 is that you get 20% more image on the frame because it utilizes the area once reserved for the audio track.

Super 8 Film stocks with the magnetic sound strip are no longer manufactured and therefore it is no longer possible to record sound directly onto the film using a super 8 camera. Our Classic Pro rentals are currently the only cameras we offer that can record sound using Crystal Sync. Using a separate audio recorder, the motors in these cameras are crystal-controlled to ensure consistency in the filming speed, so they remain in perfect synchronization with a sound recorder.
