Cheetahs at 1200fps on Vimeow

I love slow mo and it is great to be able to do it now on the Nikon 1 series, albeit limited to a low-fi look. Now the technique has gone 65mm - yes medium format sized. The Phantom 65 Gold is a 14bit raw 4K cinema camera. It can shoot 200fps in 4K mode, 396fps in 2K anamorphic (2.35:1 - 2048 x 872) and up to 718fps at lower resolutions.

That Phantom 65 is interesting.... Wanted to read more about it, I can find talk about it from years back, bit weird it's gone from the website. It comes with Mamiya or SuperPL mount and a huge 65mm sensor.. found a clip on youtube of someone holding the chip in their hands:

Isn't it kinda weird that the only (as far as I know) big format video camera is a high speed one? Wouldn't this be a good digital replacement for the 70mm IMAX-camera's?

 

Apperently they use it for 3D, by using 2 lenses projected onto one sensor:

What a shame, wasting that big beautiful chip with 3D... ;)

 

When Red started, they had talks about f*king huge sensors. Like this 617 'brain'... (6x17cm...)

Crazy, awesome, but it never happened.

 

Also the 'modest' Epic 645 never happened.
