You don’t film two minutes of realtime with a high speed camera. It would take years to play back.
You record on a loop (constantly erasing a few seconds of realtime) on the internal RAM, and when you trigger the camera, you save a little bit of footage before and after the event. This can still be hours of footage when played back at 30 fps. You only need an SSD or regular old ethernet to download the saved footage.
The 2.1 works in a similar way… I have the 2.1 and it has 16GB, so it records in a loop and captures the last 5 seconds of footage, and you press a trigger to stop it. Then it has a external SSD that is plugged into it and you save the clip onto there. It’s just a different type of system because you’re right, at such high frame rates and resolution it uses up a ton of storage space super quick. The FreeFly cameras have an internal 2TB SSD which I like better. But with high speed cameras you’re usually filming stuff that happens super quickly, so the 5 second rule isn’t too much of an issue. Some phantom cameras can only do like 2 seconds.
Does that mean its internal storage fills up in less than 2 minutes?
Damn.
And you’re going to need like 100gb ethernet to keep it continuously going?
