Loading the Krasnogorsk K3 16mm Camera

This video shows how to reliably load the K3 manually. Follow this procedure for checking the load and the camera will always work.

You're doing the Lord's work

Thank you! I am ordering this camera soon and this really helped. It was a bit hard to see the claw part, but ill watch it again

[@PaulHepper]

Do you need to load it in the dark? Or can the 16mm Film beginning see the light?

[@richardtuohy8214]

Load in the light (normally your film will be on a daylight loading spool). Once you are happy the load is correct, put the door back on and shoot for five seconds. Now you are ready to start filming

[@richardtuohy8214]

yes, can load in the light!

Hello.. do I actually need the other circle black part to catch the film? I also see urs come with one

[@richardtuohy8214]

Do you mean a nb lack take up spool? Yes! Same as the on the film came on. Any lab should be able to supply you with one

[@javantedavis1999]

Ok last question .. when u record on your k3.. does it flicker while recording through the eyesite? Im worried about this that it might actually look like that on the video when i get it processed

[@richardtuohy8214]

yes, it has a proper mirrored shutter, so the viewfinder will flicker. That is normal.

@@richardtuohy8214 omgggg thankk youuuuu lmaoo it just feels like im doing everything wrong.. im so used to super 8.. it even says “exposed” when ur done recording to let u know everything has been recorded.. with super 16 its more hands on so im just sitting here nervous as ever waiting for my film to come back lol i hope everything came out right
