Here is a link the an alternative manual for the Beaulieu 4008 models
http://www.pro8mm.com/pro8_pdfs/Downloa ... 202007.pdf
It has some info the I did not know about from my original 4008 manual.
Like when shooting single frame -
If the plunger fails to retract it could fry you cameras motor!
Page 9
And -
Use an electrical remote release trigger when shooting over 24fps or your motor may burn out. (I'm not sure if this refers to run lock only)
Page 4
By the way, the above are not exact quotes. But that is what they seem to say/mean.
Do these warnings apply to Pro8mm cameras or all 4008's.
A good reference to have and easy to print out and keep with your camera too, even if you have the original 4008 manual.
Happy shooting,
Chris.
