Andrew C Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm sort of looking at getting a high speed video camera in the day job. We've got a couple of Casio cameras that will do a burst of 60 frames for a second, but we'd like to go a bit further. You'll notice the italicised bit. I'd like something like a Phantom V10 but in reality I don't need 10000000FPS at full HD, but I'm struggling to find anything in the middle ground. Maybe there's a better Google term? Anyone got any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not sure how slo-mo you need, but the GoPro Hero 4 can do 240fps, which is pretty good, and not mega expensive - it's 720 format, so might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Newer iPhones can do Slo-Mo recording at 120 and 240fps. Obviously not an ideal solution for permanent use, but it would be a simple way to check if 240 fps is "slow enough" before purchasing something a bit more purpose-built.

peza2010 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 https://fps1000.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders looks very promising.. it does until you see the resolution. 640x480 E2A - just saw that the higher models will shoot higher res at lower frame rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Speed is usually traded for resolution so check that the speed you need will allow the resolution that you want, largely it's governed by the data rate required at the storage area.

I've used a Lumix stills camera which does 1080p25 HD, and then gets steadily smaller up to being VGA @ 200fps. It also needs loads of light to be useful at HD - and of course it doesn't like fluorescents because it can see them pulsing on an off. On the other hand, you can watch arcs establishing and extinguishing on each mains cycle if you slow the video down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
