Phantom HD Gold Camera Huge, Expensive, Amazing [Vision Research’s Phantom HD Gold High Speed Digital Video Camera Has A Huge Amount of Options and a Six Figure Price Tag)

It weighs in at a hundred and eighteen thousand dollars, but it’s got enough options to choke a small horse. It’s the Phantom Gold HD from Vision Research, and it’ll show you high definition video so clear you wouldn’t have thought it possible until you actually saw it.

With a maximum resolution of 2048?2048 pixels shooting at a speed of five hundred fifty five frames per second, you can’t call it much but a high-speed camera. But if you drop the resolution to its lowest, you’ll crank the speed up to its maximum of a hundred thousand frames per second.

You’ll get thirty two gigs of onboard storage, but considering you’re shooting at that kind of resolution, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you burn through that. Don’t worry–the Phantom Gold HD offers up to half a terabyte (yes, tera!) of add-on storage through its Phantom CineMags. They also come in two hundred fifty six gig, or quarter-terabyte. It also offers a PL lens mount, 35mm depth of field, Ethernet connectivity, image timestamp, continuous recording, and plenty more besides.

It may have a huge price tag, but the utility is more than worth it.
