Buster Keaton humorously uses a similar camera in the 1928 M.G.M., film the The Cameraman. However the camera was already outdated by the time the film was produced, and the joke involves Keaton using a Prevost camera alongside Harold Goodwin who uses an Akeley which is which was one of the most advanced neewsreel cameras of its time. Surprisingly Prevost is not listed in the Ariel register but is cross referenced as a maker in a Paris business directory.
