A cinematographer assigned to capture Civil War cannons firing projectiles used a Phantom TMX 7510 to record at 105,000 frames per second (FPS).

The creative minds over at The Slow Mo Guys have shared what it looks like to pop a bubble large enough for a person to stand in at 50,000 frames per second (FPS).

Vision Research has announced a new "entry-level" slow-motion camera, the Phantom TMX 5010. While considered an entry-level system, the TMX 5010 can still push up to 1.16 million frames per second.

Vision Research, the company behind the Phantom series of high-speed cameras, has announced the Phantom TMX 7510 and 6410 which are its first to utilize backside-illuminated sensors. The TMX 7510's 75-gigapixel throughput can provide an incredible 1,750,000 frames per second.

Remember that camera we found on YouTube a few months back? The same one that just smashed its Kickstarter goal? Yeah... it's awesome. And this demo by Applied Sciences shows you one reason why: pseudo bullet time.

Custom-built 20-GoPro array and Red Epic camera in tow, Marc Donahue of PermaGrin Films recently spent some time at San Diego UNITED Training Center to capture breakdancers, parkour athletes and gymnasts performing complex acrobatics in slow motion and bullet time.

When Apple announced the iPhone 6 and 6+, one of the more interesting features added to the new devices was the ability to capture video at 240fps when shooting at 720 resolution.

Now, with many of the 10+ million devices preordered already in the hands of consumers, we've compiled our six favorite videos that showcase all 240 frames at work. From wine being poured majestically into a clear glass, to a dog not-so-majestically shaking off, you've got a few mesmerizing minutes ahead of you.

With the rise in popularity and drop in price of high speed cameras, more and more incredible footage is getting captured of events our human brain would otherwise be unable to see in such detail.

And today, we have yet another one of those events, the protagonist being a Goshawk and the victim being a water balloon baited with a piece of the soon-to-be-dinner that, we'll be honest, never stood a chance.

Here's a little bit of entertainment and humor for your Tuesday afternoon. At a recent mixer they hosted for creative professionals in the ad industry, St. Louis, Missouri-based Bruton Stroube Studios set up a slow motion photo booth and let the party-goers go at it. The above video is a compilation of some of the coolest shots.

It's not uncommon for digital cameras to have burst modes as fast as 10 frames per second these days -- especially in mirrorless and pellicle mirror cameras -- but do you think you have a good understanding of just how fast 10FPS is? If not, check out this video by YouTube user krnabrnydziobak, who pointed a Phantom Miro eX2 at a Nikon D4 to see what 10FPS looks like when captured at a staggering 1920FPS.

Falling just slightly outside of photographically-relevant but square in the middle of awesome, this short video is just plain …
