# Slo-Mo Video Cameras Vision Research's Phantom v2511 Camera Captures Incredible Slow Motion By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-mo-camera References: [wired](http://www.wired.com/2014/07/phantom-v2511-camera/) & [visionresearch](http://www.visionresearch.com/Products/High-Speed-Cameras/v2511/) The Phantom v2511 is a slo-mo camera that boasts being able to capture 25,600 frames per second at a 1,280 x 800 resolution. Even without a lens attached to the device, it's a weighty one that is 17 lbs right out of the box, which makes it a beast of a [video camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-camera). Some of the special modes on the camera are optimized for use by researchers, scientists and engineers who would benefit from being able to capture high-res images at super speeds. Due to the camera's weight, users would probably find it useful to use a mount, such as the [Nikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowlatency-camera-capture-card) F-mount that comes with it. Alternatively, the camera can be used in a [handheld mode](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-go-ultra) and stabilized with a special mode that reduces the camera shake and blur. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Slo-mo Video Capture:** The capability to capture slow-motion footage at higher resolutions and frame rates presents opportunities in sports, entertainment, and scientific research. - **High-speed Imaging:** High-speed cameras optimized for scientific and engineering applications can drive innovation in the aerospace, automotive, and defense industries. - **Stabilization Technology:** The development of advanced stabilization technologies can benefit not only camera manufacturers but also industries such as filmmaking, adventure sports, and surveillance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sports:** The use of slo-mo cameras can enhance the viewing experience of sporting events while providing useful insights for sports scientist and trainers. - **Scientific Research:** High-speed cameras have immense potential in scientific research fields such as materials science, fluid dynamics, and biomedical engineering. - **Film and Television:** The film and television industries can leverage slo-mo and high-speed imaging technologies to create visually stunning and innovative content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Fast Multi-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-1.md) - [Highly Advanced Camera Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundaries-of-imaging-technology.md) - [Photographer-Targeted Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-xperia-proi.md) - [40FPS Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2s.md) - [Hyper High-Resolution Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-highresolution-camera.md) - [Robust Robotic Camera Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirrorless-robotic-camera.md) - [Minimal Portable Video Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powershot-v10.md) - [8K Resolution Cinema Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-raptor-v-raptorxl-cinema-cameras.md) - [Mirrorless High-Speed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2-camera.md)
