Aerial cameras past WWII got massive. They used film rolls larger than any terrestrial cameras, sometimes as wide as 9.5 inches for spy planes and satellites. As this stuff that uses these large film rolls has been largely abandoned, the film ends up on eBay super cheap. I make my own 120/220, 4x5, and 5x7 film cameras with 70mm and 5 inch rolls of film. Very economical to shoot this stuff nowadays.
Hi Ronen, nice content! I only missed some more information about recent use of rc gas helicopters (pre drone age) for aerial imagery. I hope you make a video regarding this topic one day. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the positive comment and the suggestion for new content.
Tip of the iceberg.
Consider that an aerial camera often cost more than the airplane, until recently.
