Frequently Asked Questions
Is that really a working projector, or is it just for decoration?
It really works: You crank it, the dynamo generates electricity, the light comes on, and the film plays on your wall. No batteries required—it’s purely mechanical.
Who is the Vitascope suitable for?
For movie lovers, tinkerers, and anyone who’d rather crank a handle than scroll. It also makes for a truly surprising gift, because the end result is a real mechanical movie projector—one you’ve built yourself.
How big will the finished projector be?
When assembled, it measures 23 x 13 x 26 cm and consists of 183 precision-laser-cut parts. This makes it stable when placed on a desk or shelf.
Can I do this even without any experience?
The Vitascope is Level 4 (Tricky). Set aside 5 to 9 hours and take your time—then you’ll be able to do it even without any prior experience. The illustrated instructions guide you through the gears, dynamo, and hand crank, and there’s also an assembly video.
In which languages are the instructions available?
The illustrated instructions are available in German, English, French, and other languages. If you'd rather watch a video: There's an assembly video for this model on YouTube.
