Phantom cameras are known for their high frame rate capabilities in hand with capturing extremely sharp images. And while you might recognize these cameras from popular YouTube channels like the SlowMo Guys, Siska’s Unconditional Rebel music video (a 3 minute video shot in a total of 5 seconds), and generally more ‘niche’ based purposes; They also can serve as an excellent tool for tackling ideas involving higher budgets and crisp resolution at high frame rates.
This is where the true power of Phantoms shines- Cameras like the Phantom 990s can record up to 1000fps while maintaining full 4k resolution. Additionally when you factor in the extremely versatile camera body, it becomes a breeze rigging the camera in unconventional locations. Hence why blockbuster movies like Kingsmen, Lone Survivor, and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 1 trusted Phantom cameras to capture their high frame rate shots.
Now companies have consistently been successful with packing stronger and more impressive sensors that can shoot high frame rates into their cameras, but even the best have yet to come close to Phantom’s power. For perspective, majority of cinema cameras can only handle 120fps to 300fps, and even then, cinematographers face a significant drop in resolution.
In a time where pushing visual boundaries has become a standard model of thinking for cinematographers; Phantom cameras offer filmmakers new possibilities for shooting their productions, and expand the sandbox of possibilities rather than limiting it.
