Berning Robot Robot Recorder 24 (new series)

The Robot Recorder 24 (new series) represents the final evolution of the Robot camera line, produced by Berning Robot from 1970 to 1980. Building on the German company's reputation for precision engineering and innovative spring-motor drive mechanisms established since the 1930s, this model continued the tradition of a compact, all-metal 35mm camera designed for specific applications. Utilizing the standard 135 film cassette, it retained the Robot characteristic of a fixed, non-interchangeable lens paired with a unique vertical metal focal-plane shutter, offering high flash synchronization speeds up to 1/500th second. Designed for continuous shooting or quiet operation due to its motor drive, it catered to photographers needing reliability and mechanical robustness in a portable format, such as documentary work or scientific photography, rather than the luxury market.
