Photron's compact Fastcam MH-4 camera system utilises a 10-micron-square pixel with an eight-bit monochrome and 24-bit colour CMOS sensor.
Designed for maximum flexibility in hostile conditions such as vehicle impact testing, the camera heads can be easily mounted in areas of limited space in any orientation using the highly flexible, 10m (32.8 foot) cable lengths.
Three cable types (90deg right, straight, and 90deg left) and two camera head connector configurations (top or rear-mounted) simplify mounting and placement of the tiny camera heads.
The tilting camera mount features compact NF style lenses, with a C-mount adaptor also available.
Photron's Fastcam MH-4 cameras are ruggedised to withstand high shock and vibration with high-G ratings up to 100 Gs on any axis, making them ideal for recording and motion analysis of critical events during high impact tests.
The Fastcam MH-4 is also suitable for any high speed imaging tasks that require camera positioning within confined areas and on low-mass mounting surfaces, such as pedal and footwell areas, steering columns, safety belt mountings, and more.
Photron's Fastcam MH-4 has a single processor that supports up to four cameras with Gig-E connectivity.
The included battery backup provides up to an hour of power-loss security.
