The Scoopic 16 MS was an improved model of the Scoopic 16MN, released in 1974.
The improvements allowed attachment of a 400-ft. film magazine to the top of the main body of the camera for movie shooting. An optional 400-ft film magazine, either a Mitchell or Cinema Products Magazine, could be attached to the battery chamber on top of the camera that held the replaceable batteries.
