Chronos User Discussion / Any suggestions for lighting for recording highspeed IR (infrared) video?

« on: April 20, 2024, 02:25:22 PM »

I am thinking of filming infrared video at 500 fps.  I already know how to remove the IR filter from my Chronos, but I don't own any infrared high intensity sources.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Will my Godox LED lamp (the one Krontech sells) have enough near IR output to work for this application? If not, does anyone have experience with flicker-free IR sources?  I'm not getting any hits when searching online.  Thanks for any advice!

I'm working in the field, so triggering has to be done without ethernet, a computer, etc. 
Thanks for the workaround suggestion--I think that should work with our external trigger cable (frees up the Switchbot for another hack!)

Chronos User Discussion / Simple trigger solution to start recording without pressing top button

I would like to be able to remotely trigger recording on my Chronos 1.4 (not just stop recording--I have a trigger cable for that).  Chronos doesn't provide an easy fix for this.  I don't need to sync precisely with an external event so a powered circuit is overkill.  For starters, I'm trying the Switchbot (a ~$20 bluetooth gizmo that works with a phone app--all it does is move a servo on command so as to actuate a small lever that can push a button.)  This works OK so now I'm looking into mounting ideas, since they assume you will just use mounting tape.  Anyone have a 3D print for holding the Switchbot in place? Anyone else come up with a better quick fix for triggering the start of recording?
