Introducing the VO NoPro

Have you ever felt that your every commute, every ride, every trip to the grocery should be documented on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, Myspace...? But as a retro grouch you couldn't bring yourself to enter the world of digital "action cameras." Then you'll be happy to see VO's newest offering: the NoPro camera system.
Finally, there is a film camera that you can mount to your handlebars, on a selfie-stick, on your car's steering wheel, even on your helmet (duct tape not included).
We'll have two models: the VO Ego for still photography, and the VO Narcissist for video (that's home movies).

  1. I shoot with a Rollei and now I want one of those mounts. Made me smile, thanks.

  2. Will you be selling the selfie stick, or can I just use my own broom handle? I want to make sure my large format film camera is mounted securely! ;-)

  3. I use a Minoura mount with a yashica t4 ;)

  5. I'm confused. What kind of masking and film advance have you fitted into that Rolleiflex? Your sample images are both rectangular, both appear to be image #7 on the roll, and both have the same light leaks in the border. And based on the position of the poll in the second, it looks like it was taken by another camera held alongside rather than by the camera on the poll.

    I smell deception in the air. Are you building up our hopes just to dash them later?

  6. V-O would never deceive us. Obviously these are two different rolls of film, they just happened to use the same number on each roll for the two pictures. What a coincidence. And the pole has a subtle curve that must account for the perspective. The special lens compensates for that so you don't notice it.

  7. And also, does it come in noir? I don't want to clash with my mustache.

  8. I'm interested only if it shoots only black-and-white.

  9. Is the mount universal so I can use it for a toaster or mini fridge?

  10. Will there be a drillium version?

  11. Absolutely no one who is under 30 will understand or find any humour (much less irony) at all in this post. So sad . . .

  12. That upside down image in the ground glass viewfinder would make me dizzy!

  13. Now it just occurred to me, that a selfie (broom) stick is ideal in the way as to have the right means for pre defined distance and manual focus with your NoPro. Finally found a reason for them... ;-)
