Some high speed video recording on reactive targets

[Michael]

Each target was shot at 3 different video speeds so you can see the difference in quality vs speed. 480 FPS, 240 FPS, 120 FPS.

Jimmy, if I had a Big Blast Bottle Cap then I would've done one of those for you.

Hi Michael - Nice video - my ZR1100 should be here on Friday.
Questions:

• At 480fps the video looked good but seemed to be of slightly less quality than the 240. Were you recording the video thru a protective window to keep the liquid off the camera?
• Are you able to manually focus?
• How far away was the camera - were you zoomed in?

Thanks I hope this inspires others to do some vids I know I will. I'd like to see paintballs from golf tees. And ice cubes to name a few.

Hi KZ

480 fps is grainy, 1000 fps even more so. No no protective window... I didn't expect the water to splash that far. The camera was about 10 feet away and zoomed in a little bit. I was able to set the focus by manually depressing the shutter half way. Not sure if it can manual focus, never tried. I wasn't very impressed with anything higher than 240 fps. In fact I will probably try to use only 120 fps, then use my iMovie software to slow it down more.

I'd like to see some big bore action with ballistics gelatin. Maybe Nomadic Pirate could do one with that MAX MIL .45?

Great reference material Michael for airgunners interested in video recording slow motion effects. I bookmarked it. Thanks for posting, Bob

Slowly but surely, I'm getting there

Hi All - I just received the ZR-1100 Casio and I had to see how it would do filming the paint balls. I tried it at 240 and 480. It was a bit better at 240 so I posted it here - I hope it works;

Nice video, good editing. I especially liked the credits at the end with the paint falling.
