Pretty cool video, hurray for David for bringing his creation to life and a real professional high-speed product to market!

Lots of work was behind it

Looks great Critters! Thanks for pointing out those LEDs, I didn't know those existed. Are they very loud?

 

[Critters]

They are loud, I wouldn't say "very". Using a DB app on my iPhone my background noise (light off) was 44dB and 1ft away from the light when it was on was 59dB

There is a slight flicker, at max FPS (21.65k) it dims every other frame. You can't see it if you playback at 60fps or capture at a lower rate
You can power it with a battery and chain them together which is pretty cool, i'm using an AC power supply he provided

Great shot Critters, thanks for url to the LED's too.

May I  ask if you used any color grading in this video? It looks more contrasty than most of the other flat footage I've been watching.

 

[Critters]

A good amount of tweaking colors and curves yeah

 

[Camoit]

How about the life of them? What is your exception from them hour wise? Also what is the longest you have run them time wise?
