Abstract: A panoramic motion picture camera for continuously nonintermittently exposing a filmstrip in which a camera body assembly includes a stationary housing portion and a rotatable housing portion, the rotatable housing portion including an upper housing section and a lower housing section rotatable about an axis of rotation. Camera components including a lens means, a film gate, a main film sprocket, a film supply sprocket, and film idler spools providing a film path are enclosed within the upper housing section while a film supply reel and film take-up reel coaxially arranged and in spaced planar zones are contained within the lower housing section of the rotatable portion. Bidirectional film spools translate the filmstrip from the supply reel to the film path provided in the upper housing section and then to the film take-up reel at the lower part of the lower housing section.
