The Lomographic Spinner 360°[1] is a mechanical 360 degree panorama camera powered by a spring-driven clockwork mechanism that rotates the entire camera head and smoothly advances the 35mm film. It was introduced in 2010[2].The Spinner 360° is based on the principle of a slit camera whereby the film is moved at a set speed behind a slit aperture that exposes a continuous panorama onto the moving film. A pull cord winds the clockwork for a single shot (or fraction thereof if not fully pulled). The film transport is effected by a rubber band. The 35mm camera is produced in China.

The Spinner 360° has two settings, 'cloudy' (approx. f/8) and 'sunny' (approx. f/16). The rotation speed depends on the fatigue of the rubber band, according to the product literature, is to vary between 1/125th and 1/250th sec. The available exposure options leave much to chance and variability is high.

Comparable, but mechanically more reliable cameras are the Globuscope and the Seitz Roundshot.


Notes

  1. The bottom of the handle carries the inscription: 'Spinner Dolphin 360°'
