The photo sniper is made for wildlife photography, the idea was that you go out hunting, but not with a real rifle, but with a “photo rifle”/“photo sniper”

As an extra note, the wooden-stocked camera rig shown during the Fotosniper segment is the FS-1, the first version of the Fotosniper rig, using a FED rangefinder camera attached to an SLR-like adapter. Since rangefinder cameras are only usable with a relatively narrow range of focal lengths, the reflex adapter was necessary to actually aim and focus the 300mm lens. The later, far more common plastic and metal rig is the FS-3. There is a different full-metal version of this, the FS-2, which may be similar to FS-1, but with a 600mm lens for military use. Otherwise, I believe the setup is similar, but I cannot confirm this.

You might like to check out the Canon Dial a half frame camera with a clockwork wind mechanism, shutter priority with manual override. Or the Yashica. Sequelle again a half frame camera with a motor drive that resembles a 8mm cine camera.

I remember all of these. The petal was a one-trick pony. The Zenit Photosniper series were an integrated system, but many photographers used rifle-grips to support long telephoto lenses. If you had a spare few thousand, an alternative was the Novoflex - a lens system that adapted to most 35mm SLRs and allowed lenses up to 800mm, supported by a rifle-stock (the trigger was a cable-release, screwed into the camera shutter release) and focus was by a vertical grip in the free hand. Despite the expense, the Novoflex was VERY popular with wildlife photographers and photojournalists.

I had never seen 1,2 & 5 - and I see a lot of old cameras. Very cool. I don’t know how weird it is, but my favorite non-standard film camera would have to be the 1/2 frame, Konica Auto-Reflex (I know not really weird)

I mostly collect early digital cameras and the weirdest one I have is the Minolta Dimage V, it has the very unique feature of the entire sensor being removeable and you can attach it to the screen with a cable so you can use it like a periscope or stick it in places the normal camera wouldn't fit. Insane feature and I don't know of any camera since that does something similar.
