In the 60' Cine Services of LA made a 70mm back for the Rollei. It took 100ft. of film and you could hand hold it. But that was in the dark ages. I'm not sure I think the only made three of them. Some were I have a photo of the Rollei and the back.

That is the Rolleimot. There are the Rolleimot 1, 2, and 3; the

up to 3m with the standard cable; the interval between shots are about 3.5seconds, they use four batteries U2.The Rolleimot 1 was dedicated to Rolleiflex 2.8 and 3.5 cameras and

O.K. now it makes sense.If there's a bulk film back, then I can see someone marching subjects past it and taking a shot of each one as they go by. For some reason this didn't seem reasonable if you had to stop every twelve shots, take the camera off the stand and reload.
Thanks for the info, All the best Larry Cuffe
2007/3/13, Laurence Cuffe <cuffe@xxxxxxx>:Mr Bigler's Coments on the meaning of "Cranky" amused me. They alsobrought to mind a poster of Rollei models which I saw on the wall in
Nippon
Photo Clinic on broadway, when I was bringing in my F3 for serviceyesterday. What intrigued me was some models of the tlr beginning
around
the nineteen sixties. These appeared to have a large rectangular
base, and a
cylindrical protrusion on the side where the crank would be on thecamera. I assume that these were motor driven models, but I wonder
what was
their original use. They seemed as though they were designed to be
shot
from a fixed location as the whole arrangement seemed far to
unwieldy to
hand hold.
