Found your camera, Phil! JP was shooting 1000FPS with the Phantom HD on an Infiniti commercial the other day. Said the footage looks insane!

Let me guess, they don't sell it at Wal-Mart?

1000 FPS / 30 = 33 seconds of 30 FPS video. That must be what they used to shoot that Shark eating the seal shot from Planet Earth.

Yeah, you're right. Didn't even think of that. But it is probably what they used since it'll do it in full HD. Would have been cool to catch Henry's psycho KungFu with it! Laughing

As a professional videographer, I can tell you that the phantom rents for $2500/day without a lens or support (tripod). It's about 4-5k per day for something you can actually shoot with. That is IF you can provide the insurance certificate for 200k.
