Gakken’s Hand Crank Super 8 Projector

Projectors

Basically, I want one. Or about 10 of them.

Released earlier this year by Gakken, a Japanese company that produces the most crazy, beautiful objects of every gadget-fiends desire.

The projector is powered by hand, allowing you to alternate the framerate, which as far as I’m concerned is a very cool feature indeed. The bulbs are LED and powered by battery, which doesn’t make for such a strong image, but is nonetheless extrememly useful for workshops and running your film through without fear of it being chewed up.

It even comes with a splicer built in!

I love it.

They’re available now from the Gakken website for just 79.99 Euros. Bargain.
