Pixboom Spark
The Pixboom Spark puts true high-speed cinematography into a compact, 2.4 lb aluminum body. Built around a Super 35 back-illuminated global shutter sensor, it captures 4.6K open gate at up to 670 fps, 4K 2.37:1 at up to 1,171 fps, and 2K 2.37:1 at over 2,000 fps, with no rolling shutter skew or wobble on fast-moving subjects.
Unlike traditional high-speed cameras that record to a short RAM buffer, the Spark writes RAW continuously to its removable 2.5TB Pixboom Pro Card, so you can roll for as long as the action demands. A 2.7-second pre-record buffer catches the moment before you hit the button. With an integrated Gold mount plate, 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs, and an interchangeable locking mount for E or PL glass, it works equally well on a tripod, a gimbal, a robotic arm, or a car rig.
