Compact & economical high-speed imaging.
The i-SPEED 210 and 211 are the perfect compact high-speed cameras for research situations where access, portability and rapid deployment matter. These cameras fit in the palm of your hand and can fit almost anywhere – under dashboards, in engine compartments, inside machinery and other tight spaces.
These high-speed cameras feature a high-sensitivity 1280 x 1024 CMOS sensor – 1.3 million pixels of resolution at 500 fps, with a maximum frame rate of 79,500 fps – suitable for slowing down most life science, robotics and machinery applications. The global exposure shutter makes this a professional high-speed camera for research at a price that will not break a laboratory budget.
The i-SPEED 211’s larger size includes a 1-hour battery and up to 8GB of memory. Coupled with a PC laptop, this camera is an ideal high-speed imaging solution for untethered, portable field work. Add a layer of rugged durability with the optional High-G package to either camera.
