    Alpa Roto Help - Does anyone have experience using this camera?

    Operational note on the roto: Do not forget to set the angle before you push the button; if not your camera will continue to 360 degree. And you will have to do this every time you want to expose a frame.

    Alpa Roto Help - Does anyone have experience using this camera?

    Yes , there should be a plastic rolling ball held in place by a tiny spring. So if you want to che k on this you will have to separate the head from the motor as per earlier instructions. The ring is part of the motor. The principle of functioning is that there is a invisble to the eye magnet...

    Alpa Roto Help - Does anyone have experience using this camera?

    it has been a busy weekend and I'm reviewing the post I did earlier. You seem to have a fully functional camera and my advice is to not change anything.

    about the ring: My earlier post about separating the head and the motor is needed to get access to the ring .

    simply line the desired angle marking with the red Dot on the camera head and push start. you need to set the angle each time you make a picture. it will do a 360degree if you leave it at 0 .

    It's hard to find the right material. But then I went to a Bikeshop and had some leftover handlebar tape that was the right material that I had cut to size. The rubber is not a driving part of the camera so it just opens and closes the viewfinder . Try to remove the stick leftovers with some...

    Hi this post has been a while so I'm not sure if you had any answer to your question. I have two of these old cameras and one is functioning like new. The second one is a a salvage and works sometimes or not. the camera consists of two parts. The top is the camera and the lower part the motor...
