WTR/WTB: high speed camera

**PA Rifleman** · March 18th, 2007, 01:39 AM

Want to rent or borrow high speed camera for filming various firearms discharging. Needs to be compatible with PC based platform (rather than emulsion film technology).

Would prefer to use an entire system that outputs a CD or DVD with the raw video file for editing.

I use a mavica for all my pictures, you can use a video mode on it, and take a snapshot of the video if you want to capture the shots.
You can generally find them on ebay pretty cheap, ours is a 3mpx we purchased it new from Circuit city for $260 a few years back when they where pretty new on the market. Mind you ours was a display model.

Hi Frenchy, and thanks for your quick reply.

I'm looking for video gear that can do stuff like this:

At work we recently rented a camera that shoots at 10,000 frames per second. We are doing some work for a military contractor that needs to see how a new cannon is operating. here is a sampl of what it can do.
I can get you the contact informatin if you are interested.
