210fps... the future of RC filming...
 

check out this small snippet of footage

I have more, nothing 'on track' yet but hopefully that will change.

filmed at 210 frames a second, played back at 30fps, basically a 7th of the speed of 'full speed'

Chris.

Looks well good, which camera did you use to film that ?

Top stuff. Slowmo vids of RC cars are ace, I find it amazing to see all the stresses going on.

Now stop teasing and put up more vids ;) :drool: :thumbsup:

Thats awesome Chris, more more, i could do with one of those for my national vids ..

I'd really like to know what camera you used for this, I've seen a few videos already in slow motion on the track and it really is incredible seeing how they land. What you think looks like a smooth landing on a jump actually looks really stressful on the car.

I love high-fps camera's, I would love to get myself a casio ex-f1 pro to do some high speed stuff, not just of r/c stuff I would have a load of uses for it with various sports I do!

my toy is a Casio EX FS-10. I am VERY impressed with Casio's camera!!! :woot:
for high speed stuff, good light is essential.

I want to get better video's, this was just a test/proof of concept, there is another one up here

it would be SO dialed on a loose dirt tracks, bumps, jumps, wheel-to-wheel.

watching RC at normal speed you miss SO much of whats actually going on

Thats fantastic, really cool.

Your right in what you say about slow-mo catching what is happening to the vehicle.

Check this video of some German guys bashing their 1/5th scalers:

The way the chassis and suspension moves around is awsome and is real testament to just how much hammer these things can take.

You do miss a lot of what is going on with rc cars at normal speed as everything usually happens so fast.

As I said earlier I would love one of these for doing slow motion video's of rc cars as well as other stuff like Archery that I do.

I have always been fascinated with the ultra-slow-mo stuff, like balloons bursting, bullets being fired and stuff, when I found a 'compact' camera that could do high speed filming too I was sold!

it takes really good static photos too :woot: :thumbsup:

it can film at 400 and 1000fps too but the resolution is too low to make it worth while and you need a ridiculous amount of light on the subject

That is pretty awsome chris.

A

That does look very cool Chris:thumbsup:

Have you seen that car at 2mins 45secs? It looks like an overgrown hornet and the front suspension is truly terrible!!

I thought it was broken at first :lol:

Well the wheels don't appear to be attached to the car at one stage!

how the hell does it steer, it's like a push me pull you :woot:

Look how much the body wobbles!

After watching that vid I'm thinking about ways to reinforce the bodyshells :woot:

We need more of this type of vid:

Ever since I had heard about the chip that they had made which would allow this sorta high speed video in consumer grade camera's I've wanted one. Casio released the the EX-F1 a few months after. I just wish I had the funds to actually buy one, I would make non-stop slow motion videos!
