The Phantom HD Gold is a high speed digital video camera that carries a hefty price tag of $118,000 putting it in to the professional end of the market.
The camera has a resolution of 2,048 by 2,048 and at that high resolution it is capable of capturing video at 555 frames per second. Although high speed cameras are available for just a few hundred dollars that can capture at over 1,000 FPS, they certainly can’t do that at anywhere near the 2k by 2k resolution and often tend to drop down to double digit pixels.
This particular camera is also capable of capturing images up to 100,000 frames per second when the resolution is dialled right down to just 16 by 8 pixels.
Included with the camera is 32GB of onboard storage although for professional users it is recommended that you increase that by purchasing a couple of Phantom CineMags which can bump the storage up by another 256GB or 512GB at a time.
It’s a fairly powerful looking beast of a camera and if you are not sure you need the camera then the chances are you don’t as it really is aimed to the more professional market.
