Looking for the very best in video broadcast equipment? That can mean different things to different people, depending on what industry you're in and what you're going to have to be capturing. But the Phantom Flex High Speed Digital Camera can grant you the chance to record all of the on-the-go detail that you'll need for working in a fast-paced environment.
Currently available from New Pro Video at $145,000, this device is still in purchasable condition and comes with all of the tools needed to ensure a high-speed and professional-quality shoot that doesn't leave any stone unturned, including the laptop and software needed to process the footage that you capture.
Not only can you use this camera for standard shoots and production situations, you can also use it for boundary-testing footage. Take a video recently uploaded on Halloween by the YouTube team known as "The Slow Mo Guys" and posted by Gizmodo.
Known for recording slow motion footage that captures remarkable events in easily observable bits, a November video known as "Huge Building Explosion" shows exactly that, as well as the detonation of two grenades, caught slowly coming apart in surprising and almost beautiful detail.
According to Gizmodo, these shots were captured with a Phantom Flex at 2,500 frames per second, and the amount of clarity you get from these shots can serve as a reminder of the abilities of the best professional video equipment on the market. But you don't have to be that destructive to feel the benefits of this class of professional video recorders, and anyone with a keen eye for detail can find a real bargain in the New Pro Video listings…for now.
