When Formula 1 didn't let him bring his mirrorless camera, this fan decided to use a floppy disk camera instead.
F1 Bans Fan’s ‘Pro’ Camera, So He Brings a Floppy Disk Camera InsteadA Formula 1 racing fan attending the recent Miami Grand Prix was told at the gate that he couldn’t bring in his mirrorless camera, so he came up with an unusual alternate plan: he instead decided to shoot the race with a floppy disk camera made in 2000.
“My goal was just to enjoy the event as much as possible while having a small setup for capturing some moments with friends,” Tu says. “On the first day of the event, I showed up to the gate with my compact, fool-proof setup in tow – or so I thought. “In my defeat, I asked him what camera could possibly be allowed if a tiny prime lens couldn’t, and he half-jokingly mentioned ‘One of those roll-up cameras you buy at Walgreens, that’s it!’
Event security had absolutely no problem with the floppy disk camera, and Tu was able to breeze through the checkpoint on days two and three with the camera and 10 floppy disks.
