My head seems to always circle back to this thing so(despite knowing it would be difficult to make),
i was wondering if anyone has tired or at least played around with the idea of building the camera, i know that some lens cap exist which folds 90° when the lens extends, the mechanism of folding 180° seems entirely unique to this camera.
I know 180° hinges exist but motorizing the opening seems impossible.
I know i could probably cannibalize a olympus pen for the electronics but having what cool opening door is kind of the point of this camera.
