ABSTRACT:
A rotating support (1) is placed on a fixed support (6) such as a traditional tripod, and an ordinary camera may be attached to the rotating support. This rotating support (1) is rotated with respect to the fixed support (6) by a geared motor (7) by means of a belt drive (72) with pulleys (52,71). A second geared motor (8), also by means of a belt drive (82) with pulleys (41,81) activates a connecting rotating element (44) which engages on the film rewind knob (45). A camera attachment piece with a window (9) is attached to the camera lens like an ordinary filter. This piece (9) consists of at least one opaque screen with a vertical slit (931), whose function is to reduce the width of the image, like the plate with a slit placed in front of the sensitive part of the film in panoramic cameras. Both geared motors (7 and 8) are provided with rotation rate detectors (73,83). An electronic device (90) monitors and regulates rotation rates and, in particular, causes controlled variation of the rotation rate of the geared motor (8) so that the film transfer rate will be constant.
