When I transferred a 16mm film a year or two ago, I was able to use my smart phone, a tripod, and some inexpensive software that allowed for matching the 'shutter speed' to frame rate and for color compensating (reducing the reds and boosting overall color as the filmstock had shifted). Turned out pretty well for a one-off. -Cory
