This is thelightest drone camera ver. It’s made of paper and it’s so light that it needs no FAA registration or any kind of license to fly. And the project got founded with a staggering $800.000+ !!!
On Monday Oprema will launch their new Biotar 75mm t/2 Cine lens on Indiegogo. Here are the official renderings of the lens.
If Professional Aerial photography is your thing and you sit on a shitload of money you can now buy this newly announced Hasselblad 100 megapixel aerial camera:
The A6D Aerial camera includes a feature that allows up to eight cameras to be synchronized within 20 ?s. A simple bus-type cable connection is required between all cameras in the set-up. This feature completely eliminates any issues in post-production caused by un-synchronized exposures.
Nine H System lenses are available in aerial versions with secure locking mounts to minimize vibration and flexing which guarantees the image plane and sensor stay parallel at all times. These units ship with their focus precisely adjusted and fixed at infinity. The focal length range from 24 to 300mm of these lenses results in a horizontal AFOV of 96° to 10.2° covering most applications. The new generation of leaf shutters for the H lenses has an extended lifetime, which ensures reliability during flight.
In addition, the exposure time for the aerial lenses has been improved up to 1/4000 of a second, for sharp and crisp images. Traditionally, FMC systems typically only compensate for movement in a single direction, but the fast leaf shutter-based exposure time can both compensate for ground speed and the roll and pitch of the plane.

TED published an article which photographers may be interested to read. In short it talks about the reasons why sometimes it is useful to not take photos. A few key talking points:
1) In one study, students were told to take photos of objects at a museum — and they remembered fewer of the overall objects they had photographed.
2) cameras, as amazing as they are, can’t compare to what the brain is capable of with input from the eyes and the ears.
I think we should learn the “Art” of not taking photographs too :)
Kosmofoto reports:
Japan Camera Hunter, the blog run by Tokyo-based Bellamy Hunt, is working on a new 35mm compact camera. The announcement came during the Camera Ventures Save Analog Cameras live broadcast event in Tampere, Finland on Friday. Kosmo Foto believes the camera could be ready for testing in 2018.
