1000FPS at 4K on a drone 😮

Helicopters — Multirotors — Drones

I still remember my first multi rotor flight with the Red Epic. The ability to position the camera smoothly and precisely in 3d space was incredible. Coming from the larger RC helicopters I was used to flying a multi rotor (Drone) seemed so elegant, stable, and precise.

As drones grew in size and capability, we started putting bigger cameras and lenses on them in search of another shot that the world had never seen.

Flying a phantom 4K was always an incredible aspiration, but they were big, heavy, and really limited the type of dynamic drone moves that you could pull off.

Brainfarm did some awesome work with one early, and we had experimented with the smaller Phantom Miro a bit but I still hoped Phantom would pack the 4K sensor into a smaller body.

They did! It’s called the Phantom Veo 4K and I love it. Read more about it here

Vision Research stuffed phantom 4K performance in to a tiny body that is just perfect for gimbal use. We recently took the VEO up to Vancouver BC to play with peacemaker film works for a few days to shoot the Alta X Launch Film.
