Days Out with the Phantom Miro M120
Cinematographer Jim Geduldick was lucky enough to be the first person to shoot with Vision Research’s new Phantom Miro M120 high-speed camera. Let the slow-mo goodness begin.

After the huge outlay of money one spends on a Phantom Flex ($50K – $150K) it’s only natural that you would sit around and think of the most harebrained things to film with it. I can definitely think of a few things worth doing, anyone want to lend me one for the weekend?
Another day in the office for the boys, this time playing with some flint and steel to create what I like to describe as fireworks for ants.
In this one, Gav and Dan shoot some water balloons in super slow motion with a BB gun. As always you should watch this in HD so you can see the little pellet flying through the air.
If there’s one thing you have learned from this blog it’s that everything is better in slow motion. Take a look at what Charles Bergquist has been up to with the Olympus iSpeed 3 High Speed Camera.
In the slowest slow mo video yet, Gav shows us the classic colliding droplets shot in liquid. Using a mixture of coloured water and milk shot at 5000 frames per second (200 times slower than real-time).
The only thing better than footage shot at 5000-8900fps is when it’s been edited perfectly and put to a Beastie Boys soundtrack. Video by Ty Migota.
Gav & Dan decide to take out some pent up anger on some defenseless apples. Fruit lovers might want to look away for this one.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, everything’s cooler at 1000 frames per second.
The Slow Mo Guys have done it again.
You don’t want to know the things I would do to own a Phantom Flex. It’s pretty obvious that everything looks better at 2564 frames per second but at between $50,000 - $150,000 a pop it’s probably something I’m going to have to live without. I guess 60fps will have to do me for now.
