Getting that download time is crucial, especially for high-speed flows. I'd recommend checking the user manual or reaching out to the manufacturer directly.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: Has anyone tried this lens ?

 I haven't tried that exact lens, but I've used other Laowa lenses, and they're usually pretty solid. The f/0.95 aperture sounds like a dream for low light. If you're into fast lenses, I'd say give it a shot.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: Chronos 1.4 and 2.1 lowering bit depth to increase frame rates?

« on: December 08, 2023, 06:20:44 AM »

 I've been digging into this bit depth upgrade thing. From what I've gathered, a firmware update for the 1.4 and 2.1 to boost frame rate sounds awesome, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's in the cards. I wish they could pull it off, but as of now, it looks like it's a feature exclusive to the new models.

Syncing with the propeller's rpm might need some tweaking, but continuous recording at 1 fps should be doable. Check the settings, and maybe play around with the triggering options. Also, make sure your smb-share setup can handle the speed.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: OLPF filter for Chronos cameras to reduce Aliasing/Moire?

I feel your pain with the filter juggling act. Been messing with external filters on my setup too. It's a hassle swapping them out for different focal lengths, right? Your shots look solid, though. I've been eyeing the Chronos 4K12 myself, but you're right.
