Blackmagic Forum

Hello,

I am in the market for a video camera that does high frame rates for purposes of analyzing tennis shots. Does any of the BlackMagic cameras have the capability to record at frame rates north of 240 fps? I am looking for 300 to 500 fps. If they do have this capability, are there any time restrictions beyond that of memory? A lot of the high frame rate cameras I’ve come across can only record for several to 20 seconds. Budget is around $7000 to $10,000. Any recommendations would be great. I have zero experience with video cameras.

I don't believe any go that high. Above 120 is rarefied territory.

The Sony FX6 will do 240 at 1080p.

For real high speed FPS, how about this thing? https://store.freeflysystems.com/products/wave

2K at up to 1461 FPS
4K at up to 422 FPS

$11k for body only.

Why would you need to record for more than 20 seconds? That's like an eternity compared to a tennis swing.
