I will be producing more video content utilizing the Hammer Bullets with my high speed slow motion video camera.
I typically capture high speed events at 2,000 frames per second.
Now this is no $80,000 Phantom High Speed Camera! However, it will suffice for what I am trying to capture.
A quickie tutorial on frames per second. Essentially it is exactly as it sounds.
2,000 frames per second is defined as a picture frame is captured every 1/2,000 of a second or 0.002 second. To put that into perspective, we blink our eyes typically in 1/20th of second.
My video camera's memory is good for 10 seconds of video capture but is limited by a 16GB internal memory.
10 seconds of 2,000 frames per second = 20,000 pictures!!!
As you increase the speed of the frame capture = you DECREASE the resolution [how clear the video is] of the video. This is just simple math.
Memory and processing speed as the defining factor which ultimately reflects in the cost of the camera.
Quick rundown on the camera:
