Paul,
That's pretty wild. I kept watching though expecting to see something like the mechanics with all the real features - bellows, film holder, etc. etc. Waiting to see it's use in the field.
Looks like a "proto-type" and I wonder if there's any intelligence behind the movements or if it's simply mechanical and still needs an operator. Still, pretty cool. Looks like max bellows would be a 180 or so....
Ya Lon, I got a laugh out of the darn thing. What amazes me is the fact that people seem to have time, money, and energy to work on something like that, and for the most part, for what purpose. Oh well, all the mechanical stuff seemed to be pretty neat to watch twist and gyrate around as if there were meaning full adjustments taking place too.

Thanks for sharing that one.
