You can’t- when you turn the outside portion of the rewind shaft, you’re operating a friction drive that’s connected to the frame counter, but not the drive spindle inside the shaft that the crank attaches to. You need a crank.
@@isaacbrooks5412 definitely around the time they dipped from the home movie market due to the switch from film to video. I guess they only made them for the Pro and educational markets like film/art schools
Hi - it’s not for the second shooting pass, it’s for rewinding the film in the camera. Setting it to 64 fps makes back winding easier as it releases the speed governor tension. As instructed in the video, you set it back to 24 fps (in my version at least) before shooting. Thanks for asking.
Very clear. Unfortunately, my H16 is an early copy, without the frame counter. I suppose I’d then use the feet counter?
Yes that is the way to do it.
can you still rewind the dials without using a crank? spinning the outside ring of the frame counter knob still moves it down

@@isaacbrooks5412 alas, you were right. this comment turned out to be very very helpful
@@anyoutubeaccount sounds like you’ll be set for the next one!
I’m noting the short back-wind crank. I believe “short’s” the go 4 Reflex cameras .. like my H8 REX
can you do a tutorial for the rex o fader lap dissolve? can you control the duration?
I will try!
Thanks for the video. What song is this?
I rewatched the amazing film "Wake In Fright" last night and was pleasantly surprised to find this song to be part of the score-- mystery solved!
What year was this Rex 5 made? It looks like a fairly late one because of the grayish look. Older ones have a more black look.
likely the 1980s or even 90s onwards. They switch from chrome/matte black to the hammerite paint around that time.

why on the second pass, need to change the speed to 64fps?
