From the sets of DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments” and Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”, we are delighted to present this complete Mitchell Vista Vision camera package. This “Elephant Ear” VistaVision camera, MVV-6, was masterfully restored by my friend Mark Mervis, who collected, restored, and documented this camera and all of these accessories to create this historical camera package. Research shows that MVV-6 was one of the principle cameras on the 1956 epic “The Ten Commandments”, as well as the Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece “Vertigo”.
The camera comes complete with:
1. MVV-6 camera body, body lift handles, magazine cavity caps, original camera case

3. 30V 24fps or 30fps crystal-controlled motor with variable speeds, power cable, buckle trip pigtail, case
