FPS1000 High Speed Camera
Does anyone know anyone that owns this camera? I ordered one back late last year and still haven't gotten mine. Always one reason or another as why it isn't built yet. I was wondering what other people's experience with this camera and seller might be.

Oct 14 16 07:38 pm Link 200fps at 1280*1024 Highest res 290fps at 1280*720 HD res 840fps at 640*480 Not exactly ground breaking. What is the attraction? Low price? Phantom Flex camera is very common now. https://www.phantomhighspeed.com/Produc … meras/Flex NAC cameras were used on the Mythbusters series. 50,000,000 fps anyone? http://www.nacinc.com/products/ultra-hi … meras/PiV/ Oct 15 16 08:29 am Link yes, price, and along with functionality is the attraction. The problem with a startup sometimes is that in tech that are radical changes that may make a sensor undesirable. He switched sensors. Given that phantoms in one web link were starting at 12k he saw a door opening--coming in at 2-3 grand. Saw a sample of his footage--very nice work. Very nice. So I understand why people took the risk. He still owes people cameras and even has discontinued models that were part of the kickstarting offer. It is why people have been patient--he's struggling to deliver a great camera that will change the market. He is very serious and even created a company separate from his consulting company. Given his updates, it is about a year from full-production. Oct 15 16 09:59 am Link LA StarShooter wrote: I ordered my camera late last year and rarely hear back from the guy. He had apparently discontinued the camera I ordered. It's disappointing to think my camera is obsolete even before it is built. I wish he'd give feedback more. I can't rely on feedback from other customers either because I can't find them. Oct 17 16 06:48 pm Link |
