What is the maximum frame rate and resolution of the Pixboom Spark?

The Pixboom Spark delivers unparalleled slow-motion performance, capturing visually lossless RAW footage at up to 1000fps in 4K resolution (887 fps at 16:9), and pushing the limits to 1800fps at 2K.

Does the Pixboom Spark feature a global shutter?

Yes, it is equipped with a revolutionary S35 BSI sensor with a global shutter. This ensures completely distortion-free motion with no jelly effects or skewed lines, making it perfect for high-speed action and visual effects.

Is the recording time limited by a RAM buffer?

No. Unlike traditional high-speed cameras limited by expensive RAM buffers (which typically only allow seconds of recording), the Pixboom Spark offers unlimited recording time. Utilizing the 2.5TB Pixboom Pro Card, you can record approximately 7 minutes of continuous RAW footage in 4K at 1000fps.

How does the Pixboom Spark perform in low-light environments?

Exceptional. It utilizes the world's first high-speed Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) sensor for creators, combined with Dual Native ISO (ISO 400 and ISO 1600). This provides 13 stops of dynamic range, allowing you to shoot clean, professional slow-motion footage using just 25% of the lighting typically required.

What lens mounts are compatible with the Pixboom Spark?

The camera features a versatile electronic interchangeable locking mount system. Depending on your workflow, you can equip the Spark with an active-lock E-mount, EF-mount, or PL-mount adapter, all supporting full power and data transfer.
