Vectorvision by E.F. Nettmann is the latest Learjet camera system. It features an optical relay that has the ability to roll the horizon 360 degrees while zooming from a wide angle view. This, together with an effective aperature of f2.8 in film (no zoom) or f1.4 when shooting in video, makes Vectorvision the most advanced camera system for air-to-air cinematography. Now you can simultaneously shoot Top Port and Lower Port Vectorvision, the Jet Stills 88 (2-1/4 square still) and Nose Camera. 35mm film, Sony HI-DEF or broadcast quality video can be shot through the Top, Lower or Nose positions.
