The Freefly Wave camera could become a very special bang for slow-motion applications. Anyway, the technical data reads very interesting:
![]() Recording is done on an internal NVMe-SSD, which can currently hold 1 or 2TB. It is not simply changeable but the camera is delivered with this memory "fixed". The data is read out via a USB 3.2 Gen1x1 Type C connection with 5Gb/s. By a rough estimate it should be possible to transfer 1TB to a laptop in about 3 minutes. As file format the manufacturer specifies Compressed Bayer RAW with 10 Bit, which is compressed between 5:1 and 6:1. With 2 TB of memory, the camera can record a maximum of 35 minutes without interruption, and the integrated battery can even last for about one hour according to the data sheet. The very light and compact Freefly Wave (150mm x 97mm x 47mm, 716g) does not have its own display, but a preview monitor can be docked via HDMI (1080p30). ![]() Freefly itself builds and sells the camera in batches. The first batch of 20 units is already sold out and is scheduled for delivery from 18.11.2020. The second batch of 30 pieces should be available from 1.12.2020. With 1TB the Freefly Wave camera costs 9,995.00 US-Dollar. The second TB costs 1,000 Euro extra. Considering the fact that 1 TB can be backed up in 3 minutes, the surcharge seems a bit steep... ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: Highspeed S35 Cinecam für 10.000 Dollar - Freefly Wave |
