Overview
The Wave high speed camera is designed to be the most efficient and versatile camera on the market. With no trigger setup required, users can easily push to record and push to stop. The camera integrates seamlessly with the Mōvi Pro, allowing for full control from up to 2500ft away. Its small size, light weight, and robust build make it the perfect package for any filming situation. With a runtime of 1.5 hours and solid state recording, the camera is both powerful and safe to use.
One of the standout features of the Wave camera is its incredible speed and resolution capabilities. It can process up to 3,774,873,600 pixels per second, making it ideal for high-speed filming. The camera also features a global shutter, eliminating any rolling shutter artifacts. For scientific applications, the camera can shoot at even higher speeds of up to 9,259fps. With its durable build and adaptable mounting options, the Wave camera is a compact, lightweight, and simple solution for all your filming needs.
