The Chronos 1. 4 affordable high-speed camera that created some buzz on the internet about a month ago has now made it onto Kickstarter and reached its funding goal of approximately $48,000 in only 5 hours.
The Chronos 1. 4 can shoot high-speed video with 1,957 fps at its full resolution of 1280 21,600 fps at lower resolutions.
The Chronos captures its footage on a 8. 45 x 6. 76mm sensor with a 6. 6um pixel pitch. A global shutter means that leaning verticals won't be an issue and the electronic shutter achieves a fastest speed of 1/500,000 sec. The sensitivity can be adjusted between ISO 320-5120 when shooting in color and 740-11840 in monochrome mode. The camera takes C and CS-mount video lenses and comes with a 5" 800
If you want to support the project and reserve a Chronos 1. 4, you can do so by pledging approximately $3,000, a fraction of the cost of other pro-level high-speed cameras, on the Chronos Kickstarter page. Shipping of the first units is planned for March 2017. You can find more information on the Chronos website, some sample footage can be seen in the video below.
