edgertronic firing on all cylinders!

edgertronic

One of our favorite high speed camera companies has shared a lot of information regarding it’s COVID pandemic operations as well as unit shipments for their cameras. It looks like Sanstreak corp the parent of edgertronic is considered an essential business to the government which is probably because of the support and software development they do with clients for important government agencies. They have sold thousands of cameras to date and the company seems to be on firm footing to continue solidly into the future.

Their product line has the SC1, which is the 700fps 720p camera that started it all, as well as the SC2/SC2+ 720p at over 4000fps and SC2X over 2000fps at full HD 1080p. Check our page here for full in-depth reviews on these three cameras. Our favorite the SC2X is capable of a beautifully detailed and artifact-free image that can be used for cinema and broadcast. The SC2+ has the edge in frame rates with speed as a primary focus being able to record 6x the frame rate of the original edgertronic. The cameras have Color and Monochrome options if needed. → Continue Reading Full Post ←

16GB Buffer Upgrade Option & Newsletter:

The new 16GB buffer will double the current 8GB and make the camera capable of recording twice the time at all frame rates. If you recorded 2 seconds below that will translate to 4 seconds.  The upgrade requires a camera service option and has a price that includes shipping, get in contact with edgertronic.com to service the camera.  Since it is a hardware upgrade it is not a kit the user can install.

The folks at edgertronic/ Sanstreak are launching a Newsletter where you can get the latest info and developments on the camera.
