Chronos 2.1HD footage at 24038 fps!

[mklinger]

Hi! I have had my Chronos 2.1 for over 5 years now and it's been an amazing camera for me. My primary use case is analyzing balsa failure modes for the Science Olympiad structural event. My YouTube channel name is "Balsa Engineering".

I normally film these test at 2500-3500 fps which is a nice sweet spot for this camera in terms of speed and image quality.

Recently, I needed to do some analysis of an extremely fast event, and maxed out the camera and shot at 832x96 at 24038 fps. While there isn't a ton of detail at that speed, I was able to get very useful engineering analysis done and the testing uncovered a unique and non-intuitive failure mode.

You need an extreme amount of light to get decent footage at these speeds. I have 2 300W LED video lights with 2x Fresnel heads pointed at the target about 2 feet away. Shot at 0dB gain and around a 250 deg shutter, DNG.

Check out the video linked below for the super-high speed footage. You can also poke around my channel to see much higher quality, 2500-3500 fps footage from the 2.1 as well if you are interested.

I'd be happy to answer any questions about this video or others if you have any.

Thanks!!

This footage at 24038 fps is mind-blowing! It’s incredible how much you can capture with such high-speed filming. The engineering analysis from this test must have been fascinating. I’ll definitely check out your channel for more!
