I found this interesting recent video describing the revival of an Alpa Roto Camera and a little bit of the history of this machine. It’s a massive analogue panoramic camera intended to be hung upside down under a helicopter, and using a whole roll of 120 film to take up to 360 degree shots. I also found a cheap copy of the book mentioned in the video in fair condition that has 28 impressive and massive fold out images. Some are 360 degrees, some 270 degrees. I’ve added a couple of low quality pics of the book’s content to give a flavour using my iPhone’s panorama function.
