Title: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: marcus on February 10, 2020, 05:16:30 AM
Hey I'm awaiting my Chronos 2.1 and I've already seen a few posts showing clips using the camera!

I think it would be cool to make this the place to post clips so we have a main thread instead of them being scattered around.

Here are some from other users I saw to start the ball rolling:
Photopage: (Flying Moth 1,000fps 1080p) https://youtu.be/ytQchDACNkE
Preftech: (Water tap 1,000fps 1080p) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0FSl5ORMEM

Look forward to seeing more! :)

Here is some tests that I made today https://youtu.be/uJkoIlmD5V0

Seems that I missed the focus on last one slightly. The larger sensor and a fast lens that is sharp even wide open make focusing bit more demanding but I think I am going to get used to really making sure that it's spot on. But other than that I think the picture looks really good already. The first shot was really demanding since it was really dark and we were still shooting 1000fps.

Thanks for the Post!I think this is the fist time that i have ever seen an inofficial unlistet Video of a big channel with this little views ;)
Focus is a bit to close towards the Camera on the Second clip, but when the Little Bits of the Cards get into focus, when they fly, it is very sharp there.
This setup can really produce nice Shallow depth of field!Also again, the colors look pretty good!.
You can always Close the Iris (apperture) of the Lens a bit, if you want a larger Depth of field. But if it is allready very dark, as in this case, that is propably not an option....

Looks really great and sharp. Though it almost looks like it was shot in 500fps and slowed down to look like 1,000, is that because of the motion blur?

I'm still a lens noob but is that motion blur effect caused by the F4 aperture or the 357 degree shutter?

That is just the (basically almost full) 360 degree Shutter, that makes everything look like that.
That is also the Reason, why the common reccomendation is to use 180 degree shutter. This gives some amount of motion blur, but not too much, also 180 degree Shutter was used in Cinema Movies for a very long time, so we are very much used to the look of it.
If you go far below 180 degree, like, lets say 18 degree, your individual Frames will look Sharper, but the clip istself wont look as Smooth. For Pans or Fast Camera Movements, also anything in The Frame that moves Quickly will Look choppy. This is often used in Action Scenes or other Very fast Scenes to make it look more intense or harsh (maybe not alway as extreme as 18 degree, maybe more like 90 or so).
If you go way above 180 degree, like here 360 degree, everything just blurs together and it also looks odd. Thats why 180 degree is mostly preferred for Cinematic Shooting.
For Science and such, there may be other factors that come into play when choosing an Shutter angle. For example, if you know there will be a lot of very fast moving Objects, and want to actually get Sharp images of those, while in the air, you want your Shutter angle as low as possible and so on...

Yes Marcus, it was shot at 1000 FPS, but I wanted to slow down the playback to see more detail.  This is 10 FPS, so 100 times slower than real life.
Nikon1 has nailed the 357 Degree blur effect description.

I was trying out some options and playing around with the shutter angle to increase exposure while keeping the gain on zero, and the lens on f4 for a little more depth of field.
If anyone can tell me how to make insects stay in my plane of focus I’d appreciate it!

Love the quality of the image at zero gain.  Will try higher settings today, and go back to narrow shutter angles for sharpness.

I guess luck is a factor and also to try and shoot a lot.
With my current camera i have only Pre-Trigger (Triggering the Recording bevore stuff happens, record time 3 Sec).
With The Chronos you could basically just hold the Cam onto insects all day long, and just push the Trigger, whenever something happens, which seems worth keeping. So that makes everything a lot easierer allready

That is my best guess, how some of those very good, very close up insect-Slowmo-Clips came to be.
Someone once said (in a Photography Magazine here in Germany) about an Award-Winning Picture of An Very small, vivid Frog in eye-Level Perspective of the Animal, that almost nobody can imagine how much patience an work goes into images like this.
So i think just keep shooting, you will get great shots eventually!

That's a really clean shot! Also to the people who are posting clips, do you guys use on-board compression? Like do you let the camera compress the files for you, or do you work with the raw file? I'm guessing raw file will result in better quality?

Excellent first tests, looks to be a really clean image that should perform well even at higher dB gain.  It is already crushing the best I have seen on my 1.4  ;D

Gain test, just increased the gain as the sun was getting lower, leaving FPS, shutter angle and lens aperture on the same(ish) settings.

Decibel or also known as dB is an logarithmic unit. Look it up, if you need more info about it. As far as i am aware, 2 dB more would Double your exposure.
Since the Native (Base-) ISO äquivalent is ISO 500 on the Chronos 2.1, 24 dB Gain should be around 12000 ISO äquivalent, if i didnt get something wrong here.
Will have to do an Side-By side Comparison with an other Camera, to be able to say this for sure, but i think that should be about right.

dB is decebel, a way to measure two relative signal strengths. In this case, 6dB of gain is equivalent to 1 stop, or a doubling of sensitivity. So 24db is four doublings, or 16x gain.


Thanks!I dont know what is the Max Setting, but 24dB Still looks more than ok!Looking great.

I find that 24dB gain on the 2.1 is about the same apparent noise as 0dB gain on the 1.4, the new sensor is really phenomenal with respect to noise!

They're talking about the analog gain, which is measured in db.  Increasing it increases the brightness of the image, but also makes it more noisy/grainy.

I can see column banding becomes much more visible and still apparent at 0dB. My guess is that more calibration will help with that like it did on the 1.4

Very nice Video!Just in the 3k and 5,4k fps shots its a bit much chromatic abberation from the Lens for my taste, or the Camera does something funky in Debayering (That was an problem with the 1.4 initialy also.).

That was fixed by a change of the Default Debayering algorithm in Firmware.If you use Older Firmware with the 1.4 and shoot a scene like this, it still looks very bad. Lots of very colorfull pixels everywhere they shouldnt be....Thats because for very small highlights some Debayering algorithms just assume that this very bright (In reality white) pixel would actually be the Color of the Pixel, and not white.

The "Black" areas of the image have some funky color noise, but the Well-Lit Areas look very nice.   .
Otherwise the best shots untill now. What brand was the 35mm Lens, this was shot on? Was this a Nikon (DX?) or an Rokinon? I guess at f/5.6 it wouldnt make much difference, but still.   .

I can not more use the SD card for saving the video But with a USB key, this is possible
You are talking about the SD card in the top slot, correct? The card in the bottom slot cannot be used for saving.
Could you create a new topic if you are still having problems? I would like to keep the thread on topic.

I've been playing with my Chronos 2.1 for about a month now, and I've captured a few nifty videos. My favorite is probably the gallium. YouTube's video encoding has caused some damage to them (probably partly because my lighting wasn't always the best), but here are a few of the better ones:

Liquid gallium @ 5406 FPS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-1o8ISaN4U

Marble vs. water @ 5406 FPS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0_ZwUrLOFI

Birds taking off @ 2531 FPS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_4yGIhesFo

DLP projector @ 10488 and 24046 FPS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oIxPUtv55o

Balloon explosion @ 5406 FPS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nKo0CugfWQ

There's other stuff on my channel as well, if you want to poke around (any videos posted before before March 1st, 2020 have nothing to do with the Chronos 2.1).

Ok, you win the Price for the strangest and most creative bit of Chronos Footage i have seen so far. To be Honest, i dont even really know what i am looking at in this Clip....? are the shoes Falling down? My best guess would be they are, and its lit by some Light source which rotates crazy fast on some kind of rig above? or some kind of flash array? And Playback seems to be very slow (like 1 or 2 fps Playback speed?). Would be highly interrested how this one was shot (BTS-Shots welcome, or just some Info on the Setup). Anyways, thanks for uploading!
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: clkdiv on March 10, 2020, 12:52:27 PM
The shoes are from my 3 year old son and you are right, its a flash array. Every single frame of the Chronos got its own flash. Running at 2142 fps the shoes fall down a very little, but nevertheless there has to be some Photoshop post. I suppose when running at 8000 fps or so the post isn't needed anymore. So I am awaiting the Chronos 5.5. The whole clip is made from just 12 frames.
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: Nikon1 on March 10, 2020, 12:54:04 PM
So how did you sync the Flash with the Frames?
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: clkdiv on March 10, 2020, 01:51:14 PM
I use a microcontroller to generate the ttl-signals to trigger both the camera on IO3 and the flashes one by one. It can trigger up to 48 flashes at a speed up to 12000 fps. I hope to do some tests with people soon.

Thanks!

For the water balloons, I just used daylight. It's the brightest light source I have available, after all.

For the water drops, I actually built a custom LED light source using six CREE COB LEDs. I don't remember the exact part number, but they were from the CXB1507 family. I'm running the whole array of 6 at a total of about 40W, so they're bright enough for most things.

It's 1000 fps and so good it's hard to tell apart from Sony A6400 clips that we have on the same video. Lens is 50-100 f1.8 Sigma zoom and I think it wasn't wide open with this one

You are correct, I'm not sure how much gain is reasonable yet.

HOWEVER (I failed to post this message last time, so this is an edit) I've since tried 24dB of analog gain and it's pretty impressive!

Wow, that’s pretty impressive for 24 DB gain and is similar to 0 DB gain on the Chronos 1.4. The low light on that is something else.

i would have loved to use Shorter Shutter Speed and Smaller Apperture for Crisper Images and more Depth of Field, also Lower gain allways just improves The Image.... I need to feed that Camera way more Light for that, but wanted to shoot at least something yesterday, that would be worth sharing. Made Screenshots of the Settings. Also that Denoising in AE CS6 renders forever (i allready knew that bevore and also did a lot of other Heavy stuff on my PC, also its an Netbook from 2015, so considering that its not that bad after all...)
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!

You could try adding film grain if you want to get less banding after denoising.

i could, but i tried a bunch of stuff with all kinds of adding grain to footage a few years ago, and it just ended up completely killing Image Quality after compression for Web/ Delivery. Sure looks pretty nice if you got the Bitrate for that, or even the original uncompressed file on your end when Shooting/ Editing, but the final image, the Viewer gets to see, that is compressed looks even worse then the original with the banding... Might try very subtle grain at some point, but for now i wont add any grain untill i got good enough handling the Camera itself, still rather Tricky for me to find the Sweetspot for some Settings but i will find it out eventually.

Wanted to shoot something today in Sunlight for the first time, and found some Fly that was very interrested in the Chronos 2.1, so i picked her up and brought her into frame. Dont mind the Vignetting and Weird flares, i was trying out a bunch of weird lenses for Super16mm which are actually not fully covering the Sensor, but still very nice and Sharp otherwise. Settings: FullHD @1000fps, 0db Gain, 88° Shutter, Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 25mm 1.4 @ f/4; Grading and a little bit of denoise in AE.

Slapping Bottle gently. Settings: FullHD @1000fps, 0db Gain, 88° Shutter, Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 25mm 1.4 @ f/4 or f/2.8?; This time no denoise at all (meaning way quicker render), just a preset for color from Magic Bullet Quick Looks, a very Quick Contrast adjustment with Curves (Cutoff to make blacks blacker and White more white), and a small amount of sharpening. Also Higher Bitrate render this time.

My USB-Soundcard finally broke completely yesterday after Years of hard use and Abuse. Litteraly into pieces... So today i went and bought a New USB-Audio-Interface. And the first thing to do with it is obviously hooking it up to the Trusty Hameg Osciloscope and blast Globetrotter on it to film it with the Chronos. Looks way better than the old one. Settings used: FullHD @1kfps; somewhere around 180° Shutter; 0dB Gain; Schneider-Kreuznach 50mm 0.95 @f/1.2; No grading/ Editing/ Sharpening on this one, also no denoise, just run it to AE very quickly to compress it for posting here and turn up the Saturation a bit on the Green. This one is rather long, but i kept it as is from the Camera .h264 .mp4 File anyways.
 Also, i just noticed, i maybe forgot to do Black-Calibration on the Bottle one, hence the Weird Lines all over the Shadow areas in the Image. Have to keep an eye on this, but still new to the cameras Workflow, so Black-Cal is a thing to remember bevore shooting important stuff.

Just curious. How many hours of battery life are you getting on yours?
I only got through 1,5 Battery cycles so far, so i cant really say anything from experience yet, also i didnt watch the time with my first bit of goofing around.... But i noticed that on the First Shot with the Screws, which i did in the middle of the night with my "weak" 50W LED Panel and High gain, the Camera got way more hot than with the other Shots on 0dB gain today, with better light. so i would expect that more heat means, battery drains faster, and that High gain would draw more power. But that is just a wild guess from my side right now. Time Will tell about that. However, just from my general sense of time, it drains rather Quick, at least compared to my Nikon1 J5. Have only used those very rarely, but i think (based off the first battery cycle and my few hours with an Sony A7ii...) battery live is somewhat compareable with the Sony A7ii, when i used it indoors for event shooting (Mid-High iso, not too much light... Shooting images, not video, basically change battery every like 20 to 35Minutes to make absolutely sure you dont get below 30 or 25% at any point in time, to not miss potentially important shots). Battery live is kinda decent for what the camera does, in my opinion at least. I mean at least its stand-Alone, runs off of a battery at all, and has an integrated Monitor. Looked at 35k€ Highspeed-Cameras, that need an huge Beefy Power Brick and a PC to even work. Camera itself is just a 3" Cube with a mount and an Ethernet Jack... With the Chronos you can actually get work done, without an hour of setup...
 I really have no idea but i guess it must be between 1 and 3 Hours, lost track of time when playing. For what i do, its certainly to little battery live to leave the house without additional Batteries, so i will buy two more batteries and keep the three as Backups or for Smaller Shoots. But i think i will go with V-Mount for Power. 200Wh V-Mounts are Affordable, tough, and i allready have a bunch for my lights, so they will be around for shoots anyways most of the time. this should allow for Plenty of shooting time without changing Batterys.

Well, things like Voltage Converters do exist....:

 Plenty of those are available in all kinds of Voltage Variations. If you need some Strange Voltage, it wouldnt also be all that difficult to build one on your own for some Special Voltage...

Just curious. How many hours of battery life are you getting on yours?
I just did a propper test, charged the Battery untill the Status LED turned Green, disconnected charger and Powered the 2.1 on. Then waited for the Startup Sequence to finish, double check Settings very Quickly (Set it at FullHD 1000fps, 180° Shutter, 0dB Gain, no lens mounted Just a Bodycap, so completely Black image all the time), doing a Black Calibration and hit record, so it would allways just record to RAM over and over. Letting it run that way, recording, waiting how long it would hold untill it would stop recording. From the Moment of hitting the Power button to power it on, to the Camera Showing 0% Battery live was around 1 Hour 7 Minutes, but it didnt Stop recording, so i left it running. At exactly 1 Hour and 10Min 0 Sec it hit 8.88V and i stopped recording, powered it down (soft power down, no hard power down) and hooked up the Charger again, because at that kind of voltage i was pretty sure, that the Chronos itself would propably not stop recording any time soon on its own, but i will possibly damage the Battery because of deep discharge. I dont know what will happen, if you just would continue recording way after 0% Battery live, but 8.88V was the point, where i decided to stop. At some Point either the Camera itself or the Battery will give up, but i dont want to challenge damaging something, especially the completely new battery.
 For any further Questions about batteries and such, if there are any more, it would propably best to move to an other topic with this or make a new one to not get off topic with this one, which is supposed to be a 2.1 Footage Thread.

As far as I'm aware recording does not consume more power than idling.
The power consumption is pretty constant apart from the fan, which obviously depends on the external temperature.

so i would expect that more heat means, battery drains faster, and that High gain would draw more power.
As far as I'm aware recording does not consume more power than idling.
The power consumption is pretty constant apart from the fan, which obviously depends on the external temperature.
For my test today, Room Temperature was 26°C for the whole test. But i think you are right, heard something like this also somewhere.

Hi B.H.V
Thanks!
All but 1 clip was at 1.000 fps.
I tested out all the different file formats, and and as expected I perfered the Cinema DNG files.
Still trying to figur out how to get the cleanes image out of the camera, with out to musch noise in the blacks and visible vertical lines.
Right now Im adding filmgrain into the image after the noise redution.
Super fun camera to play with!

i was also thinking about getting one, but the price was holding me back for now. Nice you got one! how is the small apperture working out for you when shooting Highspeed? Would assume that thing needs wicked amounts of light for anything indoors at 1k+ fps....? also, how is the Weight distribution/ balance on the Lens? is most weight of it in the back at the mount, or is the balance point somewhere in the Midle? Just asking, cause if Balance isnt too front heavy, it might allow for some really unusual and Strange shots and angles on an gimbal.
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: clkdiv on October 16, 2020, 02:01:47 PM
Hmmmm, what angles are you thinking about? Any ideas I should have had myself? :-)

The whole thing isn't heavy at all, and most weight is at the cameras side, I think. If you want, I can examine that for you.

I have been to a local dealer who had that lens on stock, taking a Godox 200 with me to test how much light it needs. As supposed it needs tons. I saw Steve Giralt and his clients in a making of clip wearing sunglasses. You will often find yourself wearing sunglasses, if you buy this thing.

ok, i like really bright lights, but so far never found myself wearing Sunglasses because of lighting, so THATS BRIGHT!
 Thanks for the info on the weight, wouldnt need any further info on it, if its not really heavy on the front its fine. Should work on an gimbal then, if i would ever end up using it on one
 I personally would use it with a speedbooster, to make it wider and also to gain a bit more than a stop of light on it.
 For crazy angles, think about a fast push in into some tight, fast moving Machine or if you are mad brave, stick it into an wasps nest and pull it out really quickly. While this is actually pretty crazy, this lens would be really nice to have, even if i never did either of those two, to get into tight spaces. Also the Image on that lens is just so surreal looking from every test i seen, and while the Small apperture is tricky because of the Amount of light you need, the huge Depth of field is great. ALSO that lens actually can focus really close as far as i am aware, which i really miss on about all bigger format Wide angle Lenses which are not special Macro-Lenses.
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: clkdiv on October 18, 2020, 04:01:42 AM
If you really use the lens in a very small space, then it is not that hard to get enough light, I found out. However I could not stop down enough when filming at 1000 fps. So for testing purpose I switched the Chronos to 60 fps.

Now I don't have a slider, so I tried to build something on the fly. That turned out to be useless, since every small disturbance of the motion translates into real shaking with the Laowa "Stick". Also, when stopping down to F40, even the smallest piece of dust on the sensor becomes visible.

So using that lens at 1000 fps not only requires sunglasses and massive light but also a very stable camera slider.

Here is a test that reveals the upcoming problems (https://vimeo.com/469440551).

Now as you mentioned the speed boosters, they came to my mind again. I forgot about them, but now I need to know what I could do with them in combination with the Laowa. I resurrected the Speedbooster-Thread (http://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=123.0) again for that.

Is this shot at 1000fps? or 60?Even if your Slider is a bit wobbly, when you do a crazy fast push-in on it at 1000fps, alone the much slower playback should smooth out a lot of the motion your Slider Might produce. Also most better sliders can be re-Adjusted, for example for Wear and such. Out of the box most wont be too tight, because then they dont slide as freely, but for something like that shot with macro stuff closeup on a long Lens-Stick thing, you might want it a bit tighter, since that also reduces Play by a lot usually.
 And Yes, you propably want to clean your sensor and frontlens/ lens Back element when using that lens...

That one was shot at 60 fps.

Yet another attempt with 120 fps (https://vimeo.com/469590607). As soon as I got the money, I will put a speedbooster between the Probe and the Chronos., because imho too much of the wide angle is lost... Nevertheless, the lens is fun.

Video Link doesnt work for me for some reason. An idea would be to try and record some kind of "empty frame reference", so just an very evenly lit white surface with the same Settings as whatever you shot your footage with lines at and expose it to something like 30-50% grey. Should still record the Lines then and can then just be removed in post production with the correction mask you just recorded. worth a try, also gave me a kind of useable result when i did that 12fps test without propper Black Calibration which on itself was basically so bad image Quality, you couldnt even really see what it is supposed to be. With an (in this case Black reference) reference Recorded at the same Settings i was able to clean the Image up in post significantly and it ended up looking surprisingly good in comparison to what i started with. Would propably try to record a bit longer, not to just use a single frame as such a reference. Will mostly end up looking more organic if the reference is taken from recorded footage, not just from one frame.

Here are a few clips put together.
It's a really fun camera to shoot with, but I can see that I need to work hard on my lighting.
With this camera, lighting is EVERYTHING.
I'm getting better and better images out of the camera the more I work with it.

No, that's not possible, imho. It's a stepper motor turning the focus wheel at the lens and another one moving the spoon.

Hey Kristian, would you mind sharing your experiences and findings with light settings? It is really great what you are doing there, and I'd love to see what you use and how you setup things... :-)

Finally got myself some propper LED-Lights and did a quick test with them today. 2142fps @146° ; 0dB analog 6dB digital Gain (Had set the Digital Gain to 6dB for a previous shot, and didnt double check again, cause i usually dont change that setting, so because of that, there is some faint noise there), f/16. Lens used was an 12,5mm f/1.3 Avenir.

This Short bit of footage here is a bit of an crossover from that topic here:
 https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=614.0 (https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=614.0)
 It is shot without the internal IR-/UV- Filter glass, which makes the Image somewhat more soft, but noticeable brighter in some situations. This was shot as kind of a test to push the Cameras to its limits on Low-Light. Shot at 46fps; 359°; 18+6dB; f/0,95 50mm Schneider Kreuznach Lens wide open.

I guess with a *bit* more air behind it, you would propably easily get a Watermelon up to speed and floating. I am thinking much bigger, something like this, propper madness (the dude there is crazy enough to maybe even try it himself, if you asked him):

 (https://youtu.be/9vDKSwC9oA8?t=1781) .
 #EDIT: Just remembered, dont you also have some kind of huge air tank with a big hose on it? that would be an idea to try maybe, but somehow limit the Airflow a bit, so it isnt empy in 10 Seconds, so the Melon has a chance of getting up to speed....

Closeup of an Flash tube of an External Camera Flash, Shot on Schneider-Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f/2 @f/22; 24kfps @8° Shutter; 0dB Gain, 46°C Sensor-Temp. Still overpowering the Camera Sensor at those Settings, very bright. (Running on the new Unstable 0.5.037 Update, Vertical Lines on Overexposed Areas on high Framerate Settings still seem to not be completely fixed, but apear less harsh than i remember them from my earlier testing on the Last stable Release (Havent done a side-to-side comparison so far though...)).

This is my first test of the Chronos 2.1 camera.  I destroy simple balsa towers at various resolutions to get a feel for the best quality/speed balance. 

https://youtu.be/wFJdB_NOfBQ

1920x1080 @ 1000 fps
1472x816 @ 1893 fps
1152x648 @ 2992 fps (take 1)
1152x648 @ 2992 fps (take 2)
832x456 @ 5692 fps
832x240 @ 10488 fps

I've been really impressed with the camera so far.  My biggest observation, aside from sticking to the 4 primary horizontal resolutions, is to stay at 0 dB gain if at all possible.  It was much better for me to underexpose a bit and pull up in post than to go to even 6 dB of gain.

All of these shots were at 0 dB gain and shot in Cinema DNG.  There is some post production enhancement in DaVinci Resolve, but nothing extreme.

I've got a picture of my setup at the beginning of the video that shows how I set up the other hardware used: Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II lens @ F4 and two Godox VL300 300W LED lights with Aputure Fresnel 2X ends.

To use the Canon lens at anything but wide open, I used a Canon DLSR to electronically stop the lens down and pull it off the camera while still on.  While a bit of a hassle, it's not that big a deal and it works well.

Here is some macro high speed using a Dremel to sand a piece of balsa.

Lens:  Sigma APO Macro 180mm f/2.8 @ F11

Playback speed: 50%

It's very challenging to get enough light shooting F11 at 4823 fps 221 deg.  I had both VL300s and a 6000 lumen flashlight about 5" away.

Hello every body
I'm new to this discussion area :) and I'm new to the Slow motion world, I just got my new Choronos 2.1 camera, at the beginning I was shocked when I put my lens and found the picture dimmed and too dark, day by day, after some searches and reading many posts here (Thank you so much all), also after 100 times of try and error, I just uploaded my first time slow motion video  8) 8) 8)

https://youtu.be/W0LHKm8Ekww

Upscaled using Topaz video enhance AI from (640x480) 5406 fps, to (1920x1080), color corrected and speed doubled to 10,812 fps by adobe premiere

Image Quality itself looks very good, also the Shots are Great, as is the music. But for me it doesnt quite play fluidly. Keeps Stuttering a tiny bit. Couldnt quite figure out, if my PC or internet Connection where having trouble, but after even Lowering to 360p Quality it still doesnt play Fluidly, i figured it must propably be something with the Video File itself, you uploaded. Looks to me like the Software may be trying to show some Frames Twice or something because of some Wrong setting. Just wanting to let you know (if it plays fluid for everyone else, maybe it is actually just on my end because of whatever reason?). Otherwise great work on the Video!

There seems to be a slight jerk.
Is the shutter at 180 °?
Quick tip, Youtube compression is much better than Vimeo, especially when there is a lot of detail in the image.
I did some tests with water balloons, and 1000 fps did not seem to be enough. I had better results at 2000 fps 720p and Ai upscale to 4K:

Regular size balloons do pop quite fast. I found them to be a quite good "benchmark" for Framerate Testing or HS-Camera Testing in general. at around 1kfps i usually got around 2 to 3 Frames of the Balloon actually bursting, and this is pretty consistent from all my tests. So the Whole thing is over in about 3ms time or less usually. If you really want to see the Balloon Rip apart, and not only a baloon which is suddenly missing and leaves a Strange Bubble of Fluid or whatever in Midair (which still can look pretty cool), you usually need way higher Framerates or Bigger Balloons, they do Rip way slower.
 .
 Allready posted this way long ago,
 https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=140.msg1586#msg1586 (https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=140.msg1586#msg1586)
 This was a test at a german Highspeed-Camera Company, where i tested an 5kfps/FullHD Cam which i tested against my Nikon1 J5 at 1200fps at full Resolution 5kfps /35kfps Max Framerate with all the Same Shutterspeed Settings on both Cameras (on 35kfps i couldnt quite set shutter speed THAT Low on the Nikon, but still did 1/16000s, which was Shortest possible. Was way bevore the 2.1 was even a thing, and i was not impressed by the Dynamic Range of the Cam at all to say the least, i expected way better (the Thing cost 26k€ whitout Tax and needed A Powerhowse of an Laptop to even Run, had no Direct video out, only delayed Output via the PC, and needed an External Power Supply), and they actually reccomended me to look at the Chronos  ;) . Fit my needs very well, also happy about the Price compared to that.

For you guys who are posting clips on YouTube, can you post the raw video from the camera too? Or is that too big of a file?
Depends on how much of a shot you save, a Full Memory Save of a 32GB Chronos will have double digit Gigabyte size in the Uncompressed Formats. Not only takes this very long to Save to Memory, also usualy takes quite a bit of time to upload, even worse if someone has bad Internet. Another Problem is where to even upload Such amounts of Data to share this. I guess some People use Google Drive or something else (i dont...), but even there i dont know what the Limits of that are, and if this would be possible or practical thing to do. Here on the Forum, with the 85MB or something File Limit, and a Typical 2.1 DNG beeing around 4MB (just under 3MB inside of a .Zip) each, longest Clip i can upload uncompressed with one single post here is 21Frames (28 when in a .Zip), which isnt even a full Second of footage (Full Memory save of a 32GB Cam holds 11k Frames at Full Res.). Maybe someone who uses some kind of online File Sharing Service can upload some Full RAW video (RAW Files are also usually longer than final YT Clips, to cut out the Part you want to see. You would mostly save more than you need to show in the end, to make sure you have enough footage to cut) or Share reasons, why they dont upload them.
 .
 So best thing i can offer is making like 5 or 6 Posts in a row here and upload a DNG Sequence of few Seconds, but dont really want to do more spaming here, as the Guys at Krontech still need to host the Server for this Forum somewhere, which also only has limited resources.
 .
 So here is a Screenshot of the Unedited Footage from this Milling-Shot:
 https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=521.msg3975#msg3975 (https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=521.msg3975#msg3975)
 , and that was only just over half the Memory saved, and did allready fill a 32GB SD up pretty much. So yes, they are Huge Usually.
Title: Re: Post Chronos 2.1 clips here!
Post by: Nikon1 on February 12, 2021, 07:07:39 PM
Even Compressed Footage still produces pretty big files. Here is a Save of the Other Milling Shot saved in h.264 Compression, i posted the same day here in this thread (saved that one as .DNG and also Compressed). While it is allready much smaller, its still a File of well over a Gigabyte in size.

Post by: Nikon1 on February 13, 2021, 10:44:37 AM
just saying, if you end up buying one, especially the ones with bigger Memory options, and end up shooting a lot with it, prepare a bunch of spare Harddrives, you will propably need them if you want to keep the Footage Long-Term ;).  Those Cams Produce a lot of Data...

Here is a clip showing a balsa bridge breaking at 3540 fps (1472x432).  The camera has the latest V0.6.0 software installed which is a big improvement from what I can tell so far.

This is more in line with how I'm going to use the Chronos with my new channel.  Being able to do failure analysis on devices like this will help a lot in the design and optimization process.

https://youtu.be/oRiQ7f4fXPw

The high speed part starts around 1:25, but I think it's also interesting to watch it fail in real-time to see just how fast it is.

The second Thunderstorm of the Season was absolutely awesome. Strong positive lightning with up to nearly 200.000A, sunset lightning with iluminated rain and small hail.

The two lightning videos are shot with the Chronos:

Cool video! I think you are using the V0.6 firmware. Did you notice the "pink" color of the smoke at 4352 fps?

Nice!  Looks a bit overexposed though.  Maybe experiment about -1 to -2 stops from this to not blow the highlights.  I know it's tough with the Chronos as the dynamic range isn't great, but if you expose the highlights correctly, you can boost the mids a bit and it'll be OK.

I guess thats a bit up to personal Preference, i personally dont mind if some of the most extreme Highlight spots are blown out a bit, as long as the Camera handles it well. So i usually like to expose a bit brighter, than having the Image too dark and needing to boost exposure.
 At least with the Chronos, as from all the Stuff i shot, i got better results with brighter footage, Boosting the Lows or Mids usually results in a bunch of Weird Lines showing (note that this is a Fairly old shot, recorded on the 5.1 Unstable Firmware still, where the Vertical Lines where still a big problem when underexposing. Should be way less of a Problem with the 6.0 Firmware, as it gets rid of all the Lines almost completely).
 On most other Cameras i would as well stay far away from Overexposing, as they usually handle Boosting the Lows way better (unless you use crazy ISO setting and stuff...) than overexposing.
 .
 But have to say, you are right. Didnt really notice bevore, but i think i could drop exposure like 2/3 Stops or 1 Stop on some of the Shots.
 This Clip was also a bit of a test and the First thing i edited with Resolve. Bevore i only used Adobe After Effects, and i have to say, Resolve is a Beast when it comes to Rendering DNG Footage, Worlds Faster.
 As at the Time of editing this, i didnt really know how to actually use Resolve yet however, and was mostly just playing around, all the Footage is just Droped in there, some Time-Ramping added, Music, and Rendered. So color is untouched on those, as out of Camera. After looking through the DNGs once again, some of them only look too bright and can be dropped in Exposure in Post just fine, plenty of room to spare bevore clipping; but a few of them are actually clipping on the Bright parts.

I am a HUGE fan of DaVinci Resolve Studio.  I switched from Premiere a couple years ago and haven't looked back.  I've found that the built-in noise reduction tools can help a lot with the banding of the Chronos, but like with any noise reduction, you need to be careful not to ask it to do too much or it'll destroy the detail.   You will find you'll want a very high end graphics card if you start to do a lot of effects work with it, especially if you are on a 4K timeline.  They are hard to get right now, but the RTX 3090 with 24 GB of video ram is very useful for that kind of work.

The color correction tools within Resolve are really great too.  That was what Resolve was known for before it became a complete NLE system.  If you have something like a ColorChecker video chart you can really dial in the proper colors.  Again, with the Chronos, it's not ideal because its sensor is nothing like a modern video camera in terms of color quality, but you can get pretty good results with it.

I just cant stand Premiere, just the Fact alone that you cant Zoom in the Viewer with the Mouseweel and a bunch of other things about it bother me so much, that i cant use it. I can see, why some People like it, if you are mainly doing actual Cut Work, as in cutting together an Hour of Short Clips for a Short Film or something, but its Certainly not for me, and what i do.
 .
 Resolve is a weird one for me. Performance for Raw Footage and the Color Tools are just so good. Noise Reduction however is completely unuesable for me right now on my current hardware, even on 1080p. You need some Insane Hardware for it, if you want to really use it to its full potential. Crashes a lot, if i try to do some weird stuff with it. What i really hate about it, that UI color cant be Changed and UI also seems a bit stiff (i guess i am pretty spoiled from Blender and Adobe AE in terms of UI customisation, but its actually pretty bad in Resolve, even Premiere does that better...). Also dont understand, why they wont let you change Global Presets and just assume you want to work with 24fps for some Reason, and have you change that every time you open up a new project.
 .
 I personally just like AE the Most still, even if its slower sometimes by a lot. Sure, for RAW Footage i will for sure use Resolve, but AE just feels way more stable and allows for better control for anything beyond Basic Video Editing, which Resolve lacks in some Places. Dont know, maybe i just need to get used to it a bit more, but i dont know if i will ever get over that 24fps/ lack of export Preset BS they have going on there, combined with the (for my taste) way too dark UI (at least make it High contrast then, if you for some reason lock it at that kind of dark. i just find dark text and very slim lines on Dark Background really hard to look at). Allready annoys me, bevore i even start to actually work on something. So as i said, for now i still prefer AE by quite a bit, but can see why a lot of people switch to Resolve. Especially for those who are coming from other Video Editing software. I am just used to Software that is more targeted towards Animation, and those usually allow you to set keyframes for the weirdest stuff and do basically whatever you want. I mean Resolve at least has a Node Editor, which helps a lot with that, but i still need to learn how to use it fully, as its quite a bit different from the Blender one, which i am very used to.
 We will see, maybe my opinion changes somewhat, when i use Resolve for a while or upgrade my hardware Eventually.

I used the Chronos 2.1 to figure out the 0-60 time of a water rocket!  Spoiler, it's VERY fast :)

Lots of 1920x570, 1884 fps, 162 deg shutter, Cinema DNG footage in this video:

Lens was a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 II shot at 2.8.

Be sure to watch the ending for some very cool drag race footage.

Some thermobaric explosion fun with model city :D https://youtu.be/sv0tGx80yLk?t=515 There is monochrome 1.4 and color 2.1 footage there. Both are nice in their own way.

I also used optical flow on both of clips that are cropped to extra wide aspect ratio with 12fps playback speed. I had to speed up for the flash but otherwise it works really well.

 Such Footage, Much WOW!
 I noticed that small City in one of your Last videos, and was already wondering how you where going to nuke that down.
 The Monochrome does actually look strangely similar to those Old Atomic Bomb Videos (bit less dramatic of course compared to the Insane Power behind the real nukes just ripping everything to pieces).
 https://youtu.be/DXg2P9dx-GM?t=90 (https://youtu.be/DXg2P9dx-GM?t=90)
 Given that those Houses where still built quite solid compared to the Scale of Explosion, that did a lot of damage.

This was my first attempt at using a static test rig to capture the interesting fluid dynamics of a water rocket @ 100 psi.   Unfortunately, the test rig wasn't quite as static as I'd hoped and the whole thing kinda blew off the table mount, but it was a cool video so I'd thought I'd share.

I think it's really interesting to see the air blow through the water and "sneak" around the edges when it's almost empty. 

I plan on building a more sturdy test-rig in the future to get more footage like this in a more controlled fashion.

It was shot at 10186 fps on a Chronos 2.1 at 1472x144 resolution.  The lens was a Canon 135mm f2 @ f2.

Me and Forum User peeccy meet up and did some Product-Photography -Type Test-Shots with my Chronos, so he could get hands-On with the camera and see how it will perform for this kind of work he might wants to use it for in the future. Result isnt perfect, but we had fun shooting. Opening Shot at 2141fps, everything else at 1000fps. Lights overall where about 1000W LED all together, two of my big Godox Lights and some of his Aputure and some other Lights. Also just some quick and Lazy editing of the whole thing with no sound or anything.

Very nice videos.
 After seeing the video from your third link, i wanted to also shoot something like that. So here is my try on capturing the Leidenfrost-Effect.
 However, i think my surface wasn't quite hot enough for the Best Effect and also my drops seem to have been bigger than yours in the Video.
 Shot at different Framerates from 2142fps to 4230fps.

"Still Life"
 .
 Shot as an attempt to provide a Sequence of High Quality untouched DNG frames to the Community, so even people without a Chronos can have a play with some nice RAW Footage (Chronos Owners are welcome to do so as well of course).
 This Short Sequence is trying to show what the Chronos 2.1 is capable of capturing in decent Light, and also an exercise for me to improve my color workflow with Resolve.
 Attached to the Post is a Short Sequence of 7 Untouched DNG Frames straight from the Camera, as well as what i was able to make with them in Post Production (Resolve) as an High Bitrate .mp4. (Resolve for some reason cant even export as .png or anything like that, which is kind of disappointing..)
 Result is obviously still visibly Limited by the Amount of Light i have available at the Moment (had the Lens almost wide open, so its not as sharp as it could be. Shot at about f/1.3) and also my current Skills with the Camera, but still about the Cleanest i am able to produce for now. 
 Fairly happy with the Result i was able to get from Color Correction/ Grading in Resolve, apart from the reds still looking kind of strange to me (but i have not yet figured out why that is). But i am no professional Colorist or anything, so i just processed it to a look i liked. If you think you can do a better Edit, feel Free to share it here.
 .
 I also didnt have any vibrant blue Fruits or anything, so i just put an old SD Card there, so the image would have a nice range of color in it.

I just now started wondering if i could recreate that "Still Life" Shot with an other Camera and tried to do that with my Nikon D500. Needed To use a Different Lens on the Nikon D500, so image isnt absolutely identical, but quite Close.
 Framing of the Shot also doesnt line up perfectly, so i attached an Edited JPG Version of the Nikon Shot (edited using Nikons free RAW-Tool Capture NX-D, to match the Look of the Shot From the Chronos as closely as possible) and a Cropped version, to overlay directly over the original Chronos Shot to match as closely in Framing as i was able to make it fit. Also Attached is an PNG Framegrab of the Edited Video from Above.
 Yellows are a bit different (saturation?) and Reds actually look strange on my edit compared to the Nikon Image.

Hi lovely chronos people! I received my 2.1 and have finally had a chance to test it (a toddler and a new born make it tough!) Meanwhile, my family are wonderful test subjects hehe

Anyway, I'm really happy with the camera so far. The dynamic range is seriously lacking but the quality overall is pretty amazing for the price. Here is a bunch of shots cut to depressing hipster music and there's not much fast action stuff in there but my goal is use it as part of my kit for TVC production.

I took a quick stab at adjusting the colors in Resolve.  Without a color chart to create an accurate LUT with your lighting, it's just from what "looks good".

I like the red in the tomatoes and I think overall, it has a bit warmer feel than your original which make the cookie and bananas more appealing to eat :)

I actually did that, just bought an Color Checker because that was bothering me too much (also because of that other Discussion over there with Iwaters), just didnt have time yet to post that. So here it is anyways, together with my second Try at Editing that. Color Checker Shot with the Same Lighting i had for the Original Shot. I did Use The Color Checker (DNG Provided as Attachment, also the Export file from Resolve as well as an PNG Framegrab from that file) to get the image corrected, and then just tried to match the Color of the Nikon Shot as Close As possible with some smaller Color Adjustments. They still dont match perfectly, but they are reasonable close, where i can call it an Acceptable result for my Standards.
 .
 #EDIT:
 I just noticed that Resolve for some Reason Exported the File too dark, so i did Render it again with different Settings, and reuploaded the Files.

Damn, thats some nice Footage you got there! I didnt come across the term "depressing hipster music" so far, but it somehow fits the thing and really adds to it, well done.
 Just curious, if that was all Natural Light (talking about the indoor Shots) or if you added any Lighting to those shots? Also wondering what lens you used for that.
 Wish you the best with your new camera!

Hello everyone --
I have had my Chronos 2.1 for the last couple of months.  It has been great.  I did some studio shots and will do more later.  I am a nature photographer so wanted to use Chronos to capture slow motion videos in nature.  It took a while to figure out but here are some of my shots.  They are all shot at HD 1000fps.

Black crowned night heron hunting:

Hummingbird shots
https://youtu.be/RMsPJnAM768

Dolphin breaking surface:
https://youtu.be/q9Lyf3e5fUw

Bumblebees:
https://youtu.be/_A3ZFSLsFjc

and a few more in the channel ..

I don't have that much of a video background so it is all self learning and asking people who know stuff. Please review and give feedback as well.  I shoot Canon so all the lenses are 100-400 or 600mm so far.  I use portkey EVF.
So far I am loving it even though it is hard work.  Great learning experience.

Hope to connect with people of similar interest as well....

Hi all,

I see some good looking clips.
Whether this is right or wrong I have a whole channel now dedicated to super slow motion with the Chronos 2.1 HD.
Technically it's full of clips here: Stellar Videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn3fAiGrCPALasf6sCpuHJw)

I Just got the camera, so obviously still learning.. I hope you enjoy.

regards,
dwellsy

Here is a video where I examine the failure mode of a balsa bridge (for a Science Olympiad competition).

https://youtu.be/JDJaApyUits

The high speed footage starts around 1:50, and just before that you can see the real-time version as well.

This was filmed at 1152x380 resolution at 5040 fps, 180 deg shutter, and 0 dB gain using two Godox VL300 lights with Aputure Fresnel 2X attachments.

I was also using my new Rokinon Cinema 35mm T1.5 lens at f2.8.  This is an EF version of that lens attached using the fantastic new MFT mount!!  That thing makes these larger lenses much more secure.  If you haven't picked up one of those mounts, I highly recommend it!

"Spieluhr"
 Shot at 5400fps, 64mm Focal Length; f/3.6; 219° Shutter, 0dB Analog Gain, 12dB Digital Gain.
 Used three of the Godox VL300 with custom Made Aspheric Focusing Lenses and a Nanlite Forza 500 for an overall 1400W of LED Light on this Shot, as well as a Mirror for a Bounce.
 If someone was really determined, they could probably find out the exact Frequency these Pins make Sound at from just the Footage, at Least for the Low notes. The High Notes on the Right might be too high pitch / Frequency to properly be able to tell at that Framerate, for that i would have had to use even Higher Framerate. Also notice the Drive Shaft for the Worm-gear on the Top Left of Frame Spinning. Most of the Action is happening almost at the End of the Short Clip.

Boiling Metal Shot Backlit at 20kfps. 0dB Gain; 97° Shutter; f/32; 100mm.
 Originally did a Black Calibration at 180°, later changed my mind to set it to 97° Shutter Angle just before shooting, but forgot to do another Black Calibration, so there now sadly is a visible line, but well. Lows are Boosted quite a bit in Editing from the DNGs to see what is going on, no denoising at all to preserve all detail contained in that Shot. An untouched DNG of that Clip is also uploaded here for everyone who wants to play with that.
 I also made a Wide shot of another Sparkler, but at 5400fps; 0dB Gain; 219° Shutter, f/2.8; 100mm; also Uploaded here.
 Both of these Shots give quite a bit of insight on how these Sparklers actually "work" or rather what is going on, and where the Sparkly Bits are Coming from.
 Quality isnt Amazing, so i might need to re-shoot that at some point with the Exposure and Light dialed in a bit better. Dont know if i will do that however...

Although I did not make these shots with a Chronos (but a PCO camera) I post this video here because I also shot some sprinklers some years ago.
Later in the video there are some macro shots of matches being lit, these turned out quite well.

I've not had chance to use the camera for ages only used it a couple of times before that, the output always looked 'flat' somehow and I couldn't get it as I wanted. I packed it away and didn't use it as time was tight.  So today I updated to the latest firmware and I tried out CinemaDG to export the frames and put them together in prem pro. What a difference. I used a 50mm Samyang lens and a couple of LED 300w lights and a Godox S30 to put a pinpoint on the glass. I'm not an expert as you can tell but really enjoyed myself ! Cant wait to do some more filming with it now.

Hi everyone!
I just received my hd 2.1
Here’s the first test I ran today.
Amaran 200d and Pentax Asahi 100mm macro @f5.6.
6dB analog and 6dB digital (I need to learn more about that)
You definitely need a lot of light to get good results.
Let’s get the Godox back on track…

On an other Note, after thinking about it for a little, is this an Actual Paid Production by Red Bull, or did you guys just shoot that on your own for fun?
 Just from looking very briefly, it does not seem to be Published on Their Official Chanel on YT (they seem to have a bunch different ones though, maybe its somewhere i have not seen it?).
 And because it is very much just an Advert for their Product / Brand, it might be best just to get them to Upload it on one of their Chanels.
 They have 10Million Followers, so at least SOME of them Will watch it if the Upload it there i assume.

For all the People still having Trouble wrapping their Head around the Shutter-Angle Topic, here is a Shutter of an Bolex L8 Film Camera in Action.
 Working Shutter Angle on that Camera when running at 32fps (which at the Time was Considered Slow Motion) is about 166° Shutter, which was Achieved by a Half Disk literally with whatever desired "Angle of Exposure" Cut out, Spinning around that Visible Rivet between the Lens Mount and the Camera Logo on the Front Plate. Exposing the Film for whatever Fraction of time relating to the Angle Cut out Segment of the Disk.
 As this general Concept of Shutter was very Typical for Cameras of that Time, and Produced a fairly distinct Look (Amount of Motion Blur), this ~180° Shutter Angle became the Standard "cinematic Look" that has been Widely used ever since.
 Lens Mount on that Camera is D-Mount, The Small Brother of the C-Mount we know from the Chronos.
 Shot at 2100fps on the 2.1; 25fps Playback.

There seems to be a slight jerk.
Is the shutter at 180 °?
Quick tip, Youtube compression is much better than Vimeo, especially when there is a lot of detail in the image.
I did some tests with water balloons, and 1000 fps did not seem to be enough. I had better results at 2000 fps 720p and Ai upscale to 4K:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t4vKoO6OQw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t4vKoO6OQw)

Yes, Topaz VEAI has done wonders for me in upscaling my Chronos 1.4 footage 2K! I can just imagine it would be even better with the Chronos 2.1 with it's better starting resolution at 1080P.

Today did some fooling around with a few of the Germans on the Forum, and Ended Up Putting those Lifesaver - Candies on a Lathe.
 The ones that Visibly Produce Light when hit hard enough.
 On a Lathe These do Produce a fairly (in Comparison) bright and Continuous Light where they are Cut.
 Plenty More other Videos to come, but here is the First one of the Lifesavers on a Lathe:
 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL0tu7oTVhc
 Shot on The 2.1 @ 300fps and Wide Open Shutter f/0.9 and some Decent bit of Gain, so please dont Mind The noise in the Image.
 Can Very much Recommend everyone to try this, can easily and nicely be observed by Eye, just makes a MASSIVE Mess on the Lathe.

Hi lovely chronos people! I received my 2.1 and have finally had a chance to test it (a toddler and a new born make it tough!) Meanwhile, my family are wonderful test subjects hehe

Anyway, I'm really happy with the camera so far. The dynamic range is seriously lacking but the quality overall is pretty amazing for the price. Here is a bunch of shots cut to depressing hipster music and there's not much fast action stuff in there but my goal is use it as part of my kit for TVC production.

https://vimeo.com/590171021
PW: 1000

This looks really really good! I can't believe that's coming from the 2.1. What was your indoor lighting setup? Do you remember what your camera settings were mostly and what lens did you use?
