Chronos User Discussion / Australia interested in buying an unused new condition Chronos 2.1?

« on: October 18, 2020, 10:29:59 AM »

Hi financially I might not be able to afford to keep my Chronos 2.1, personal reasons + covid reasons.

Originally when I bought this there were so many delays that by the time I got it it was bad timing for me and then covid hits and now I don't really have much use for it.

I really don't want to sell it as it's been a dream to own an awesome slow motion camera but if there is any serious interest from Australians let me know.

It's never been used and is in original packaging and everything. I only opened box once to see if everything was inside.

It's crazy some of these shots look like pretty perfect HD footage that could be used in commercials. The 2.1 isn't just a hobby camera that's for sure!

I've got a couple more, this time with much better lighting. Both of them deal with water (the water balloon one is my favorite.)

Water balloon explosions:

Have you considered getting an aputure 2x fresnel? Nanlite Forza 300 is a really good option too, those pack a punch, and also have a 2x fresnel.

Hi,
get my 2.1 2 weeks ago and I'm very impress about the quality. First tests with water drops up to 5400fps which was the limit with the actual software. Now new version of software is available but I get some issue for saving the video

Wow that first clip where the drops collide is awesome.

Hi

this is my test of camera light lens and follow focus. First 3 videos are with old firmware and the
rest with new firmware.

Wow! Okay you take the crown as the best footage I've seen yet. How much lighting did you use for these shots?

We should have great stuff coming since we have two sunny explosion days on this week. I have something out probably on next weekend.

Keen to see it

Saw this on YouTube by Scott Aichner: (Sprinkler test at 1000fps 2142fps 3385fps 5406fps)
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1pG3Ol-8zo

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.).

Was that later fixed through software or a hardware change?

720p at 2000fps on Chronos 2.1 test

and for anyone who's seen enough insects, these little guys eat em...back at 1000fps

Wow the 2,000 fps shot might be the most impressive yet. Thanks for scratching my itch for more Chronos 2.1 clips!

I've never heard of dB gain when talking about video recording, what does this mean exactly?

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.

Ah I see yeah I noticed the iso change.

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

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

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?
