Super 8 film on a drone

Two Worlds Colliding. - for the love of film and flight . When I was a kid I was obsessed with flying RC helicopters. As an adult I developed an obsession with analog photography. Combining old tech with new tech has been my little niche corner of the photography world so this project was inevitable. Why don't I use a gimbal? I love the FPV perspective - FPV drones are as much about the flying as about the photography itself to me. It's also the most unique perspective you could give to a camera from the '70s. Gimbal shots from a helicopter have been a thing but banking, swooping shots with close proximity is where this setup brings something unique. Is this practical? Not in it's current state. This is a passion project just for fun, I didn't set out to design something for practical use. For this 7inch quad to lift the camera I had to sacrifice flight time by running a small battery. Flight times are about 4 minutes with this gentle flying. The Agfa Microflex that I'm using is also very unreliable - especially with Kodak Ektachrome that I chose to use for these shots (I'm a sucker for reversal and projectors). A more practical setup would use a larger drone (probably an X8) and a better camera. I'm working on trying out a Canon 310XL next. What's with the lens adapter? I used a cheap fish eye adapter to widen the FOV. These types of drone shots can quickly become unpleasant if the shot isn't wide enough. Yes it degrades the image quality significantly but if I was after sharpness and clarity I would put my gopro back on! Why is the footage so dirty? I develop super 8 film myself and doing it with cheap equipment results in plenty of dirt and scratches. Big thanks to Rewind Photo Lab in Sydney for scanning my film after my scanner failed on me. 00:00 - Build 01:00 - Flight Footage 02:00 - Projection
