Freefly Ember High Speed Camera 5K

Capture high-resolution, high-speed 5K video with the Ember S5K Camera from FREEFLY. The compact S35 camera is designed for continuous high-speed recording and is small enough to put just about anywhere you can imagine. The S35 sensor captures up to 5K resolution at 600 fps or up to 800 fps windowed to 4K to capture clear high-speed, slow-motion video. It features a Sony E mount or PL mount (with or without rear filtration) for use with a variety of our lenses, and it has a global shutter. The camera captures 10-bit ProRes format video onto the internal 4TB NVMe SSD, which can capture up to 36 minutes of video in 5K600 mode and up to 45 minutes of video in 4K800 mode, and the storage is upgradeable. You can control the camera via Wi-Fi via an iOS app workflow, and there is also a 6-pin GPIO port to remotely control start/stop/sync functions. The HDMI output allows you to preview your image using a 1080p monitor. Our package includes gold mount power and I/O by Mutiny as well as a host of mounting and support accessories. This camera is an affordable and approachable alternative to the Phantom Flex4K. For the price, the capabilities can't be beat. The only real drawback is the compromise of dynamic range and bitrate compared to other camera systems.

Freefly Ember S5K camera system with Ignite Digi Keystone cage, Kippertie PL lens Mount and Bright Tangerine 19mm ARRI compatible bridgeplate available for rental at Horizon Cine Glass in Saint Louis.
