For-A has announced a new dual-sensor 2/3-inch 4K camera that allows for up to 1,000 frames per second with "no sacrifice on brightness" of the image that comes with traditional single-sensor cameras using broadcast lenses.
In a 7-minute video uploaded by The Slo Mo Guys, host Gav shows how an old-school handheld 16mm Russian film camera works thanks to detailed footage captured at 1,000 frames per second with a Phantom Flex 4K.
Ben Ouaniche of the YouTube channel Macro Room has uploaded some really beautiful work combining slow motion and macro photography. To celebrate hitting one million subscribers, he shot himself getting hit with colorful liquid-filled balloons in super slow motion.
Storm chaser and filmmaker Dustin Farrell (@dustin_farrell) has released a striking (no pun intended) new 4K highlight reel that condenses two years of storm chasing with a Phantom Flex 4K into three and a half minutes of jaw-dropping 1,000fps footage.
An ant's stinger is thinner than the width of a human hair, and made up of a main stinger and two "lancets" that actively drill into you as they release venom. We know this because of the incredible footage of this process that was recently captured for the very first time in super-slow motion.
If you don't watch entertainment industry awards shows, perhaps you've never heard of E!'s Glambot, which has been hitting the red carpets at major shows (e.g. Oscars, Grammys, Emmys) to shoot stunning 1000fps slow-motion portraits of celebrities.
Photographer and filmmaker Dustin Farrell spent the summer chasing lightning with a $110,000 Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera. What resulted was this 4K short film, titled "Transient," that shows the epic beauty of lightning in 1,000fps slow motion.
Sony is pluming the depths of stacked sensor technology and uncovering all sorts of amazing gems—the a9's 20fps capabilities, the Xperia XZ's 960fps slow motion feature, and now, an industrial sensor that can recognize and track objects at an insane 1,000fps.
Back in July, we shared some slow-motion tests shot with …
Last year, Sony controlled around 40% of the $8.7 billion image sensor market. Now, Sony is looking to take on a new challenge: building small high-resolution sensors for the mass-market that can capture images at 1,000 frames per second. If this sensor makes it to the market, Vision Research's Phantom high-speed cameras may have some stiff competition on its hands.
Earlier this month, we shared some sample 1,000fps footage captured with the new Sony RX100 IV. If …
Crashing and destroying your drone is painful on your wallet, but it's not usually the cost of a house. The video above is different. It's documents the first ever drone flight to involve a Phantom 4K camera mounted to an Aerigon UAV.
"The title of this will either be 'The most technical advanced drone camera flight of all time,' or 'The quarter-million-dollar crash'," says one team member.
The 3.5-minute music video above was captured in a span of 5 seconds. French filmmaker Guillaume Panariello tells us he did this "shortest shoot ever" using a Phantom 4K camera snapping 1000 frames per second. When slowed down, those 5 seconds of real time turn into three-and-a-half minutes of slow-mo craziness. The song is "Unconditional Rebel" by Siska.

We've featured a couple beautiful examples of fake slow-motion video created using Twixtor shot with the Canon 7D and 550D. If you don't want to shell out $300 just for Twixtor, you can do something somewhat similar using only Final Cut Studio. The above footage was shot at 60fps using a Canon 60D and created entirely with Final Cut Studio. Yes, yes, we know the wheels look strange, but it's still a neat effect and might produce interesting results with the right kind of footage.
If you don't have the $2,500 needed to rent a Phantom camera for a day but would like to have super slow motion in your videos, you can fake the effect using special software designed for the task. The above video by Oton Bačar was recorded on a Canon 7D at 60 frames per second, but was slowed down to mimic 1000fps in After Effects with Twixtor, a plugin that allows you to speed up or slow down footage smoothly. It uses warping and interpolation to provide smooth results, avoiding the choppiness that you see when you play normal video back in "slow motion".
Lets say you had an uber-expensive Phantom slow motion camera, a flamethrower, and a fire extinguisher at your disposal. What would you do?
