Remote Pinhole Camera

Remote controlled pinhole camera Mark 2.

The shutter is a thin blade made from 4x5 film covered with 2 layers of wide insulating tape and driven by a cheap motor. It only moves about 45degrees and is held in place by friction when the motor is off. The motor is only on for a short time to move to open and to closed.

Present format is 6x12x30mm

The remote cable is 5m long 0.7square mm flex because the motor takes a lot of current from the 4.5v battery.

It can also be operated manually.
