Abel Cine Tech Offers High-Speed Cameras from Vision Research; Fletcher Chicago is Midwest Supplier for Arriflex

For those not able to afford the high ticket for many of today’s super-high-resolution cameras, rental houses provide a welcome alternative.
Abel Cine Tech now offers the Vision Research Phantom HD and Phantom 65 high-speed digital cinema cameras. Abel will sell, rent and fully support the cameras in its New York City and Burbank, CA facilities.

The Phantom HD camera can capture as many as 1000 fps at HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. When used in 2K applications (for example, 2048×1556) the camera can acquire up to 700 fps. The sensor is equivalent in size to 35mm film, while the PL lens mount provides access to a wide range of professional cine lenses.

The Phantom 65 is capable of capturing images at up to 120 fps at resolutions up to 4096×2440, with a digital sensor equivalent in size to 65mm film.
