Auction of exquisitely odd antique cameras that look like guns

It’s a bit odd due to how small it is. But pistol grips setups like this were pretty default in
super 8

And that’s pretty much exactly how you held them.

The combination of the pistol grip with the sorta crouched stance, and your other hand cradling the camera near the lense was very stable and kept your hands on or near the controls.

It’s also not that different than holding a regular camera up to your face.
