High Speed/Slow mo Camera's

[Mike@MJCycles.com]

I Dont know if its the right section but i think its the best place for it.
Does any one have any experience's with these things? i have done a small amount of research, there are some half decent Sony camcorder's that will do 600fps for 3 seconds which seems to be about the start of it all.
Prices? owner ship? software?
all help needed really.

What are you trying to record?

Making Bike video's, Filming BMXers mainly, panning shots of riders ect, luckily the speed is less than 20mph.

Working in one of their offices right now.

Yeah, they can do 3 seconds worth then convert that to 12 seconds worth. Consumer based stuff has its limitations but could just look at editing software which can adjust your framerate instead?

You might want to also steer clear of the HDD based ones as they stop the HDD from recording in situations due to excess vibrations.

could you not use something like a 7d on 60fps then slow it down using adobe after effects

Still looks a bit jerky jimmy boy, i want a smoother flow, maybe close to 150fps would do the trick just to smoothen that out?

I was interested in getting a 1500FPS camera after watching you tube vids, but they are so expensive the websites won't tell you the price. I'm told around £1K

Any one know where to rent something around 600+FPS?

your kidding? i found a sony one which did 3 seconds of 600fps for a grand, expect to pay tens of thousands for a continual 1500fps one :S

Looking at the 'insurance requirements' from the rental companies, these cameras start around £25k
