Porst was one of the big german/european camera trader with a lot of shops everywhere. Had Super 8 models from (CHINON, COSINA and Bosch/Bauer) under his own brandname and optical design.
I have listed some samples of interesting models (see also at the original brand name for additional informations). Some models can fitted with modifications for professional usage. See brand Adams64.

Beaulieu with the legendary lens Angenieux 6-90mm --- why you do not buy a Porst sound 1500 microcomputer or a BAUER 715 XL ? They have the same lens and lot of attractive automatic features! Never heard from it? These two models are identical:exceping the integrated shoulderbracket from S 715 XL The brand name Porst has specified Angenieux 1.8 / 6-90 mm and for Bauer is specified 1.4 / 6-90 mm -- but these lenses are identical! Metering shows: there is no difference. (The viewfinder form Porst shows f/stop 1.8 but this is identical to f/stop 1.4 from BAUER. This is a marketing trick! . Outstanding Bauer camera quality combined with ANGENIEUX !

Original BAUER cameras can not check 64 ASA film cartridges! Only manual aperture setting is working - But with Adams64 you have +/- exposure correction and can run 64 ASA automatically. External power socket is also available!
