Overview
The Freefly Wave offers unlimited capture time, as the clip length is only limited by the size and space of the SSD. There is no need for a trigger setup, as recording can be easily started and stopped with the push of a button. With integration to the Mōvi Pro, recording can even be controlled from up to 2500ft away. This small, light, and robust camera is the perfect package for any shoot, with a runtime of 1.5 hours and non-volatile storage that is power-down safe. Say goodbye to rolling shutter artifacts with the global shutter, and easily adapt to different lens mounts with the locking E-Mount.
The Freefly Wave is designed to be the most efficient high-speed camera available, with unique capabilities for capturing shots that were not previously possible. This handheld bundle comes with accessories for easy run and gun shooting. With maximum FPS of 422 at 4K resolution and 1,461 at 2K resolution, the Wave is incredibly fast. It can even shoot up to 9,259fps at smaller frame sizes for scientific applications. With a processing speed of up to 3,774,873,600 pixels per second and lightweight compression, the Wave sets a new standard for efficient imaging. It consumes less than 5nJ/px, or 5mW/(Mpx/s), making it a top choice for high-speed filming.
