Vision Research® sets a new standard for affordable, high-performance 1 megapixel digital high-speed cameras with the Phantom® v310.

Take the wide view with our custom-designed 1280 x 800 CMOS sensor. The wide aspect ratio of the v310 allows you to keep moving subjects in-frame longer and see more of the event you are recording.

The v310 is controlled by our feature-rich Phantom Software. If you’ve used any Phantom camera before, you will know how to run the v310.

When you add VR's CineStation to your shoot you will be able to capture data at the highest throughput of the camera, down load it rapidly (i.e.16gig in approx 16 seconds) and have the camera ready for the next shot. This compares to 16gigs in 15 minutes or longer without the CineMag. Vist the CineMag product page.

The VR Phantom v310 comes in two base models, either with or without a CineMag® interface and comes in either color or monochrome configurations.
