Military Truck Cameras

Photographer Kurt Moser Built a Truck That Acts as a Camera

— December 8, 2016 — Tech
Photographer Kurt Moser created a uniquely portable camera -- potentially the most portable camera in the world -- though not in the way that one might imagine. Rather than being pocket-sized, or modular, Kurt Moser's camera is so portable because it is literally a military vehicle.

In essence, all a camera is is a darkened chamber that allows light to selectively enter and imprint itself on some sort of exposure material. Though consumers typically think of cameras as handheld devices, by the strictest definition, cameras can be any size. As such, Kurt Moser went big when designing his rugged camera.

The unique camera uses a functional Russian military vehicle called a Ural. The reason for the giant truck is twofold: it allowed Moser to easily navigate Italy's South Tyrolean Dolomites mountains (which he captured with the camera,) and it has the capacity to carry the massive glass plates that acted as high-definition exposure sheets.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Photography - The trend of using unconventional and oversized vehicles as portable cameras opens up opportunities for professionals to capture unique and immersive photographs.
2. Extreme Portability - The trend of creating portable cameras out of unconventional objects or vehicles presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the photography industry by enabling photographers to access remote locations and capture high-quality images.
3. Alternative Camera Designs - The trend of building cameras using unconventional materials and structures, like military vehicles, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for creating specialized cameras with unique capabilities and functionalities.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - The use of military trucks as cameras introduces disruptive innovation opportunities in the photography industry, allowing photographers to explore new approaches to capturing images.
2. Adventure Tourism - The integration of portable cameras into off-road vehicles offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the adventure tourism industry, enabling immersive experiences and unique photo opportunities for tourists.
3. Transportation - The use of unconventional vehicles as cameras presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the transportation industry by repurposing existing vehicles or designing new ones specifically for photography purposes.
