This movie camera is also known as the K-3 which has been a popular classic entry-level camera for North American film students and aspiring filmmakers for the past few decades at film schools.  Even small independent filmmakers use this motion picture camera for their small-budget creative productions. The K-3 operates on a spring motor that is wound up by the camera operator using a winding lever situated on the side.
