Re: Optasound 116R instruction manual needed
What I don’t get:
Does this recorder use normal „compact cassettes“ (alias MCs)? Or does it use cassettes with perforated tape as shown in this article on page three?

Hello Erkan,
there’s a 4pages leaflet on the Wiki (with each page as separate PDF):

I have not found anything better than this on the internet. But I hope that you can find a real manual! Good luck!

Supply and demand?
„Very Good“ vs. „Good“ (with „Good“ allowing the lens to have fungus, dust, …)?

Maybe you should simply try their phone number?

Re: Super 8 on a drone
According to some websites, the attached camera shouldn’t exceed 200g in case of the x8c. When this is correct, then even a Single8 Fujica P2 would be too heavy (265g without batteries/film). The most lightweight Super8 camera is probably the Bauer Star (with and without XL) with 360g.

Re: Super 8 on a drone
May I ask what you plan to shoot?
Some establishing shots (scenery or a bird’s eye view of the hero approaching the haunted castle)?
A large crowd (e.g. outdoor wedding party or an outdoor sports event)?
A car chase?
A simulated helicopter/ufo flight?
Or do you want to place the camera in a position ...

Re: Super 8 on a drone
Well, you don’t have to use wide angle attachments designed for video as there are also ones designed for S8-cameras:
Canon C-8 Wide Attachment 43, Schneider UWL I-III (for all cameras with Schneider Macro lenses, e.g. most Nizos), wide angle lens for the Chinon Pocket-8, Eumig PM Aspheric Wide ...

Thanks!
This was done before, e.g.:

Or:

BTW: You can also put a 16mm Bolex on a drone:

Re: 3D Printable Cartridge To Fit Fuji Single 8 Cameras
Hi!
Did you already manage to shoot with the cartridges? If so: Did everything went well? Or did the film jam?
(I hope that everything is fine as I am thinking about ordering some of them as well…)

That’s great. How long did it take? And how easy is the loading?

Re: 3D Printable Cartridge To Fit Fuji Single 8 Cameras
Hi!
Single8 cartridges have three different ways to inform the camera about the film‘s sensitivity:

That’s how it looks like in the camera:
„Nose detection“:

„Arc detection“:

Re: 3D Printable Cartridge To Fit Fuji Single 8 Cameras
There’s one missing detail in these 3D models: The „noses“ that are used by some cameras to detect the film‘s sensitivity and that are used by all cameras to ease loading the film into the camera.
I wanted to add them to the models, but there was no „meterware“ film available when Jenny released her ...
