Who doesn’t love slow motion? There’s something very impressive about high-tech slow-motion cameras. Perhaps none are more impressive than the device a team has built at Lund University in Sweden. Their new fast camera can record five trillion - yes, that’s 5,000,000,000,000! – frames per second.
At these insane...
NASA is often on the cutting edge of technology, so it should come as no surprise that it's been working on an astounding piece of camera tech. The High Dynamic Range Stereo X (HiDyRS-X) camera recently recorded a rocket booster test of the Orbital ATK QM-2 and really strutted its stuff, showing off an incredible dynamic...
Shaking dogs, shaky golf swings, falling objects, hosed executives and exploding fruit: Some days, working at IR is really a blast, in this case literally!
We just got our hands on a production sample of the powerful new Sony RX100 IV, and all productivity at IRHQ immediately ground to a halt, with all hands on deck playing with its amazing High Frame Rate (super slow-motion)...
We've seen high-speed photography and slow-motion video footage of birds in flight. We've seen high-speed photography and slow-motion video footage of water balloons popping. What we haven't seen so far is a bird of prey eviscerating a water balloon with its claws mid-flight in slow-motion. Until now.

The human eye can follow action only so quickly, so we don't get to see the fine details when things happen at very high speeds -- for example the explosion of a water balloon, or the firing of a bullet. This is where slow-motion footage comes in, which is usually recorded with specialized cameras, such as the Phantom Flex, at very high framerates,...
In the eternal war of one-upmanship that is the wedding-industrial complex, everyone wants their wedding to be the most unique and special thing ever imagined. And every photographer who has worked a wedding knows that that applies to them too. Well, how's this for something that you probably haven't seen at a...
We've posted some cool high-speed videos shot with Phantom cameras before but this is one of the most fantastic clips we've seen yet. It features soccer (aka football) superstar Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona dressed in a LED-laden suit and cleats running and dribbling a molded, LED football in the dark like a World Cup...
Bruton Stroube is a commercial photography and video studio in St. Louis, MO that recently threw a party for various advertising types. But rather than intalling a boring old photobooth at the party, they set up their Phantom high-speed camera and let the attendees go wild at 1500fps, which produced some amazing, super...
Artist James Neares' video "Street" takes one of the world's most bustling and fast-paced cities, New York, and slows it down to a crawl. Filmed over a week in September of 2011, Neares recorded 16 hours of footage from the street of the Big Apple, which were cut down to three minutes of real time footage. But since he shot in incredibly high speed, that's 61 minutes of...

The video was captured with a Phantom camera, capable of shooting up to 2500 frames...

The video was directed and...
