ABSTRACT:
A cinematographic camera has a housing composed of a main section which carries at its narrow front side a photographic lens, and a cover section which straddles the main section and is provided with a viewfinder. The main section can be telescoped into and out of the cover section and in so doing respectively blocks and unblocks the viewfinder. A handgrip is pivoted to the main section and can be displaced between a position in which it hugs the main section and overlies the photographic lens which it thereby protects, and a position in which it projects from the main section so that it can be gripped by a user. An arrangement is provided whereby movement of the hand grip to the operating position results in release of the cover section for movement to its operating position and/or the forcible displacement to its operating position; the construction can also be such that it is the movement of the cover section to its operating position which releases the handgrip and/or effects forcible displacement of the same to the operating position thereof.
