  • Custom-designed 1280 x 800 CMOS sensor
  • Over 2,000 frames-per-second (fps) at full-resolution
  • High-resolution timing system: Better than 40 ns resolution
  • Extreme Dynamic Range (EDR): two different exposures within a single frame 
  • Phantom CineMag® compatible

You asked for it – the Phantom® v210! Our new 1 megapixel digital high-speed camera is capable of taking more than 2,000 frames-per-second (fps) at full 1280 x 800 resolution. And, up to 300,000 fps at reduced resolution.

Take the wide view with our custom-designed 1280 x 800 CMOS sensor. The wide aspect ratio of the v210 allows you to keep moving targets in-frame longer and see more of the event you are recording.

With an active pixel size of 20 microns and improved quantum efficiency, the Phantom v210 camera has sensitivity you need for even the most challenging lighting conditions. You can eliminate blur and see the most minute detail by using short exposure times. On the v210, you can set the exposure to as little as 2 microseconds.

The camera supports 8- and 12-bit pixel depth. Smaller bit-depth gives you more recording time and smaller files. Greater bit-depth gives you more gray levels and finer detail. With the greater latitude of 12 bits, you can pull more detail out of the image.
