See the world from another dimension with the Wave High-Speed Camera from Freefly. From entertainment to science, slow-motion footage gives a way to view processes and actions that are impossible with either the human eye or standard film technology. With the Wave, you gain extreme slow-motion capabilities with up to 9259 fps at 2048 x 128 resolution. The resolution can be dialed to your specific needs, but at a typical 2K or 4K resolution, you can achieve up to 1461 and 422 fps, respectively. You can even use external triggers to synchronize Wave to rotating or vibrating subjects to act as a visual oscilloscope.
Easy Activation
The Wave has easy activation via a singular start/stop recording button. With the optional Movi Pro, you can remotely trigger the Wave from up to 2500' away.
Lens Compatible
The front of the Wave has a locking E-mount for optional DSLR lenses and adapters to enhance the quality and style of your footage.
Unlimited Clips
The capture time of a Wave video clip is only limited by the available storage capacity, and this version of the Wave includes 2TB of built-in, non-volatile SSD storage.
Compact and Mountable
The compact size of the Wave allows it to be used handheld, but for more stability, you may mount it to an optional tripod via 1/4"-20 and M3 connections. A 1/4"-20 connection can be located on the top and bottom of the Wave, while two M3 connections can be found on each side for a total of eight M3 connections.
Water and Dust Resistant
You shouldn't feel limited in using the Wave, which is why Freefly made sure the aluminum chassis is IP52 rated for water and dust resistance.
