The Velo-Klapp is a strut-folding 9x12 plate camera with a focal-plane shutter, made by Ernemann. The name presumably refers to the camera's compactness when folded, making it suitable to be taken on bicycle trips. The focal plane shutter makes the Velo-Klapp slightly bulkier and heavier than the Velocam, however, which has only a three-speed front shutter. The Velo-Klapp's shutter gives speeds up to 1/2500 second.[1] It was available with any of several lenses: Ernemann's own f/6.8 Detectiv-Aplanat, or f/6.8 or f/5.5 Doppel-anastigmats, an f/6.8 Goerz Doppel-anastigmat Syntor, or an f/6 Rodenstock Imagonal.[1]

The camera was available with a plate-changing magazine, for twelve 9x12 plates or twenty-four sheets of film in sheaths, a roll-film back, or a film-pack adapter.[1]
