A phenomenal hobbyist project shows images as they may have never existed before: Drone flight footage with Super-8. While there are all kinds of plug-ins to give digital footage a dirty, analog flair, the images usually don't look really coherent. And the flight characteristics of a helicopter - at that time the tool of choice for aerial photography - are completely different.
But how does one go about mounting a Super-8 camera on a drone and operating it remotely? With enough experience and a 3D printer, quite a bit can be done, as Jason De Freitas shows in his video. For example, a custom mount for the Agfa Microflex was designed and printed, as well as some other missing components, such as being able to start and stop recording. An adapter for an ultra-wide angle lens was also needed.
Nevertheless, the setup is not particularly practical - the flight duration is only about 4 minutes, since only a very small battery can be used on the 7" quadcopter. Together with the camera, the maximum payload is otherwise exceeded. Also, the camera should not work quite reliably with the (later self-developed) Kodak Ektachrome film - at the next attempt a Canon 310XL should take off instead. Because as the saying goes? The sky is the limit.
