He can’t name his company/product Chronos because of Khronos group. That would be too confusing.
would be nice if you could connect an ssd an record directly to it
No offense but the UI design is close to terminal cancer 😀 the rest seems nice tho!
Arrgh ! “Aitch”. Not “Haitch”. That really hurts the ears.
I hope you cleaned all the dust off the sensor
QT… thumbs up.
TAKE. IT. APART! with this specs, i want to see the inside!
So no teardown?
Hi Dave, do you know if the camera has a sync shutter to deal with flickering light sources ?
You are right it should be Khronos. However the Khronos name is already taken by the Khronos group that manages GPU interface software standards like OpenGL and Vulkan.
Great vid Dave, comes at the perfect time as well. Me and my collegues have been looking for a highspeed camera for our lab for quite some time, but consumer grade usually doesn’t go far enough and professional gear usually starts at 10k. Inbetween is nothing but vast emptiness (and recently a kickstarter or two), which I hope this camera will fill.
Since it’s Kickstarter we are always carefull, but seeing this vid certainly increased my confidence. we had this one on our watch list as well and seeing a bit more hands on stuff is really great. Can’t wait for the tear down!
I wouldn’t kick about small cosmetics at the prototype phase. The real deal is whether it works properly, and/or can be made to do so.
It’s just as hard to develop the prototype as it is to perfect it. They’re both Herculean tasks.
0:52 I’m dying XD
if you try megapixel lenses then you will be surprised by the result
I go down to Australia soon to work with partial differential equations on a specialised topic. When I move back up to Europe, are there any things I should take care of? Do the equations work upside down? Does the change in rotation of the earth make a difference? I hope it is still solvable!
Maybe add mounting screw holes for lcd visor.
Awesome review! I so want one 🙂 Good on the camera as well ..
CentOS (?) + QT firmware?
The rubber grip material used on many SLR cameras is available from manufacturer’s like 3M.
The grip material used by Talon Grips which sells laser-cut grips for firearms is fantastic feeling and should work fine for this application. A 4×8″ sheet of the stuff is like $5 on eBay.
that jog wheel would be better on the top
I’d bet thunderf00t could so with one of these.
the 2000 dollar raspberry pi in a tin
a shame it has a mini usb instead of a micro. 🙁
OMG! OZZY MAN? LOL
Also noticed when you/Dave had DC power connected there was nothing to indicate charging or running directly from that power source.
of course the resolutions are too low to be used in something like a film, right? or does scaling up with that many frames of reality still look okay somehow
He has already sold 112 cameras, Dave 😉
This camera needs “focus-you-fuck!” voice controls.
Gotta catch those electrons before they hit the ground!
4:01 Nice juicy *clonk* of the battery door falling, lovely!
