Doppel-Sport Panoramic Camera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doppel-Sport Panoramic Camera was created in 1912 by Dr. Julius Neubronner in Kronberg, Germany. Neubronner had created a pamphlet describing this process in 1909. This camera was carried by pigeons and used to spy on the French during World War I, although it was described as taking pictures that had low quality. The camera used a breast-mounted delayed timer camera with a swing lens. The Doppel-Sport had an exposure of 3cm x 8cm. The camera was able to take 35 automatic exposures.
