Mr. Hubert. What you were operating was a hand camera, is that correct?
Mr. Phenix. Well, it’s a little larger than a hand camera but generally it is operated on a battery pack.
Mr. Hubert. Perhaps for the record you might, if you can, give the technical description of the camera you were using that day.
Mr. Phenix. Well, it’s an Auricon, 16 mm. sound camera and it is equipped with a 400-foot magazine, operated—a hand camera is normally hand wound—this is power driven by a battery, and it had a microphone and it was braced on a unipod, a single pole.
Mr. Hubert. It is held by the hand and balanced that way?
Mr. Phenix. By the hand when it is on a unipod. Normally it is usually either on a tripod or a shoulder harness and it weighs about 40 pounds I imagine.
Mr. Hubert. Well, on the 24th of November how were you operating it—on a tripod?
Mr. Phenix. On a unipod—on a unipod.
Mr. Hubert. By that, I take it it is a single stick, is it not?
Mr. Phenix. Right.
