Introducing the New Miro R-Series

Vision Research is expanding our popular line of Phantom Miro cameras to include a third body style. We already have the M-Series for laboratory environments and tethered applications and the LC-Series for mobile applications where on-camera viewing and control is needed. Now, there is a third member of the family targeted at applications in harsh environments where the camera must survive high shock and vibration as well as extended operating temperatures. Dubbed the R-Series, there are the same four performance levels available in the other Miro body styles—110, 310, 120 and 320S./MiroR_04_R120_250x141.jpg

Key Specifications:

  • >100G shock. Tested with a sawtooth wave, 11ms, 30 times, 3 axes (without lens or internal capping shutter)
  • 25Grms random vibration; 20Hz to 2KHz, all axes, 10 min/axis, in accordance with MIL-STD-810G
  • -20C to +50C operating temperature
  • 0 – 50,000ft (15,240 meters) operational altitude

As with the other Miro models, the R-Series has an external rechargeable battery (BP-U30 only) and the popular CineFlash non-volatile data storage system included. All environmental specs were tested with the battery and CineFlash in place. An internal capping shutter is available as an option, but its installation does reduce shock and vibration tolerance.

Ideal for applications such as automotive crash test, high-speed sleds and explosives. Learn more about the Phantom Miro R-Series: R110, R310, R120, R320S.

Featured Product

Phantom Camera Control (PCC) Software Supports NI DAQ Modules

The newest version of PCC has a lot of new features, but one that we are very excited by, is native support for National Instruments™ X- and M-Series Data Acquisition (DAQ) modules. Once the NI software drivers are installed on a computer running PCC, it will recognize any compatible DAQ module attached via USB.

This allows you to obtain data from a wide range of sensors during an experiment, and then visualize those data synchronized with slow-motion video captured using almost any Phantom camera.

For more information, visit the PCC, National Instruments DAQ Integration page
