This is really cool. Wish I had a camera like this to play with.

UPDATE: We know it's not 80 frames per second, but that's what the page is titled. More like: Balloon pops at 1/80th normal speed.

Niiiice.

 

[slightlyhuman]

nice.

Freaking awesome. I love how the water just floats there in the shape of a pear. A camera like that would make great animating reference.

The balloon moved so fast initially that the you couldn't hardly see it in slomo.

Not 80 fps but 1/80th of normal video.

I was watching "Pole to Pole" on the Planet Earth miniseries tonight and they had some crazy time-lapse stuff. I mean really incredible, watching clouds form while circling the formation from the air, summer landscapes turning to winter landscapes from the exactly same spot with a nice morph effect, etc.

Time lapse is different than extremely high speed.

If you take 30 fps and slow it down you get jerky "slow motion". If you shoot at 5000 fps and slow it down to 30fps you have extremely smooth video that shows something moving fast at a speed that is very easy to see.

I know. I was just making a parallel post about another neat camera thing

No way that is 80 FPS. Normal video is 24 or 30. and that is not 2x speed. Maybe 80x speed, or 2400 FPS.

sweet

toally kewl dudez

 

[MrPickins]

Awesome.

Edit: clicky ^

 

[ballmode]

pwn

 

[silverpig]

Cool.

This camera could have some interesting applications in the adult film industry.

[BudAshes]

that was quite radical

How is 80 frames per second slowed down 100x? Normal cameras record at 24 frames per second.

They never said it was 80 FPS, they just said they slowed down the balloon popping by 80 times. The video title is misleading.

Damn... I wanna see more footage from these types of cameras.

How slow can you go?

The scene with the Shark eating the seal was amazing in slo mo!
