210fps... the future of RC filming...

[Chris Doughty]

check out this small snippet of footage

I have more, nothing 'on track' yet but hopefully that will change.

filmed at 210 frames a second, played back at 30fps, basically a 7th of the speed of 'full speed'

Chris.

Looks well good, which camera did you use to film that ?

[poopers]

Top stuff. Slowmo vids of RC cars are ace, I find it amazing to see all the stresses going on.

Now stop teasing and put up more vids ;) :drool: :thumbsup:

[James]

Thats awesome Chris, more more, i could do with one of those for my national vids ..

[ryanlownie]

I'd really like to know what camera you used for this, I've seen a few videos already in slow motion on the track and it really is incredible seeing how they land. What you think looks like a smooth landing on a jump actually looks really stressful on the car.

I love high-fps camera's, I would love to get myself a casio ex-f1 pro to do some high speed stuff, not just of r/c stuff I would have a load of uses for it with various sports I do!

[Chris Doughty]

my toy is a Casio EX FS-10. I am VERY impressed with Casio's camera!!! :woot:
for high speed stuff, good light is essential.

I want to get better video's, this was just a test/proof of concept, there is another one up here

it would be SO dialed on a loose dirt tracks, bumps, jumps, wheel-to-wheel.

watching RC at normal speed you miss SO much of whats actually going on

[Beddo]

Thats fantastic, really cool.

Your right in what you say about slow-mo catching what is happening to the vehicle.

Check this video of some German guys bashing their 1/5th scalers:

The way the chassis and suspension moves around is awsome and is real testament to just how much hammer these things can take.

[mole2k]

You do miss a lot of what is going on with rc cars at normal speed as everything usually happens so fast.

As I said earlier I would love one of these for doing slow motion video's of rc cars as well as other stuff like Archery that I do.

[Chris Doughty]

I have always been fascinated with the ultra-slow-mo stuff, like balloons bursting, bullets being fired and stuff, when I found a 'compact' camera that could do high speed filming too I was sold!

it takes really good static photos too :woot: :thumbsup:

it can film at 400 and 1000fps too but the resolution is too low to make it worth while and you need a ridiculous amount of light on the subject

[ashleyb4]

That is pretty awsome chris.

[peetbee]

That does look very cool Chris:thumbsup:

Have you seen that car at 2mins 45secs? It looks like an overgrown hornet and the front suspension is truly terrible!!

I thought it was broken at first :lol:

[peetbee]

I thought it was broken at first :lol:
Well the wheels don't appear to be attached to the car at one stage!

[DCM]

how the hell does it steer, it's like a push me pull you :woot:

Look how much the body wobbles!

[poopers]

After watching that vid I'm thinking about ways to reinforce the bodyshells :woot:

We need more of this type of vid:

Ever since I had heard about the chip that they had made which would allow this sorta high speed video in consumer grade camera's I've wanted one. Casio released the the EX-F1 a few months after. I just wish I had the funds to actually buy one, I would make non-stop slow motion videos!

[Garry]

This is a good one. I can't remember or find the original link, but I'd downloaded it from YouTube, so I've re-uploaded it. All credit to the original creators. :thumbsup:

[telboy]

Thats awesome. Especially the SC10.

I want a High speed video camera!!!:D

[mole2k]

I think everybody should own at least one high speed camera!

[Chris Doughty]

I threw all the clips at the video editing software, added some audio and this came out

need to get some on track wheel-to-wheel racing filmed :woot:

[jim76]

nice work CD. yeah, get to a track!!!

[poopers]

Great stuff :thumbsup:

Dunno why, but after watching that vid I want to buy some LRP Energy Power Fuel, and I don't even have a nitro :woot: :lol:

[JCJC]

Wonderful stuff Chris, is there a limit on footage, just memory or are longer shots possible. Camera looks great fun, thinking.............. who got stock at a good price

[Chris Doughty]

subliminal advertising :woot: :thumbsup:

the restrictions on 210fps are smallish resolution (480xSomething)
and no longer than 10 minutes recording time (which would be 70 minutes continuous playback time :woot: )
it can also record regular 30fps as 720p HD or whatever its called (not full 1080p HD)

camera spec here
http://exilim.casio.com/products_exfs10.shtml
it takes SDHC memory cards, I have an 8GB in mine and at most so far, a days filming has taken up ~3GB, obviously if you go nuts you could fill it.

I would defo buy the camera again, it does good static photos, 30 shot a second burst photo and also the slowmo stuff, it even does 1000fps but that is at a very small resolution. the camera is also tiny!
downside - battery life isn't great, but you can get extra batts for a tenner.

May be this is to slow?

Here's a great vid from yatabe of an SC10 - includes some excellent slo-mo footage:

I picked up one of these recently and have to agree with Chris' comment on it. Great bit of kit. Will get some vids up soon !

[telboy]

I think that when 10th rc is slowed down by the right amount, it makes them look so realistic, as if they were full size cars.

My word, i was expecting something pushing the £500 mark or some crazy price which in photography terms isnt expensive, but reputable stores like eBuyer have it for £130, it seems very good. Certainly affordable to most people looking to purchase a camera.

I've always found my photos with a more than capable camera to be hit and miss simply down to the fact that my nerves arent rock solid and if its not outdoors in good weather than chances are the photo will be blurred and worthless. I've even got into the habbit of manually selecting a 2sec delay just to rule out the bit of movement when doing the final click bit.
How does the 30pps handle in those sort of average light situations? I would have thought that chances are somewhere in there 1 shot would be clear, is that correct or is it likely that it's just 30 blurred images with those split-second differences blurred in there? :(


On a tiny thread detour... I cant say i keep up with anything in the photography world so maybe some fancy dan cameras have this already, but ive often wondered why there arent custom profiles in digital cameras. I guess the most likely answer would be because you should be able to do them yourself for whatever the situation is, or use auto if your clueless (like me for the most part). I've often thought it'd be handy when ive spent a while trying to get a setting for a specific circumstance, it'd be handy to store it and come back to it later when a similar situation presents itself (and tweak it to suit).
