THE HANDBOOK 0 F M OTION
when completed, this camera lacked every one of the disadvantages which had prevented Mr. Akeley from securing the film he wanted on his first photographic trip. The camera was truly unique, and looked like anything but a camera.
Briefly, the camera may be leveled regardless of the plane of the top of the tripod, and may be panoramed in a strictly horizontal plane regardless of the position of the tripod. Jt has a floating finder, the eyepiece of which remains in the most comfortable operating position regardless of the camera position, which may be varied through a vertical arc of 140 degrees without changing the tripod, and by a slight tripod shift, may be operated in any position from straight down to the zenith. It has no tripod cranks, but a single lever control which permits following any object regardless of the direction of travel or speed of that object. Without alteration the camera will take lenses up to 18 inches focal length. The camera may be equipped with a shutter of 230 degrees opening, and it may also be operated at four times normal speed thus securing slow motion pictures without any accessory parts.
These are a few of the features which make this camera the ideal equipment for the naturalist and traveler. In addition the usual ac< SOries such as shutter dissolve, Goerz iris and effect and so forth, may be readily secured, the shutter, of course, having to be installed at the factory.
