Use less light/ often no need for additional illumination outdoors
Featuring a 1280×1024 sensor with amazing image quality, the i-SPEED PL will shoot at full resolution to 2000fps – a dedicated 720P record mode allows shooting in the 720P format. The sensor is manufactured using the latest in pixel technology making the system extremely light sensitive, with an impressive ISO rating (ISO12232) of 1,600.

The camera body has multiple mounting points to allow the addition of accessories such as additional batteries, handles, rails and monitors and is constructed from rugged aluminium making it suitable for use in the most hostile of environments.

 

 

 

 

Camera has been used in the cold at -30oC, in high temperature and humidity at +45oC/ 90% humidity and under-water*
Connectors are robust and the camera is not fussy about connection/ disconnection sequences. Save video clips to on-board industry standard compact flash cards for convenience. Review video footage instantaneously before saving to decide if the shot was as intended/ needs re-shooting.

Run the camera completely independently from a PC
The i-SPEED PL camera is simplicity itself to operate. Utilising the unique Controller Display Unit (CDU) – which gives full access to all of the camera’s functionality – the camera has an incredibly user-friendly interface. The CDU – which also provides a full time live view from the camera and allows you to review captured slow motion footage instantaneously – can be mounted to the camera body to additionally aid focussing and scene setting. Alternatively, standard external monitors can be plugged into the camera body and operation can be controlled via the Remote Control Pad (RCP).
