Tobin Cinema Systems welcomes you to the TCS web site! We have made movie camera motors and other equipment since 1974.
¨ Crystal & Time Lapse/Animation Motors: Discontinued. Many thanks to our faithful customers who have supported TCS over the decades, since 1974. Since the filming equipment market seems to be saturated, we are now devoting our full attention to telecine.
¨ Ancient movie cameras can use today’s superior emulsions of Eastman Kodak, Foma, Fuji and Orwo. (Agfa and Ilford no longer offer movie camera films.)
