Here’s a camera you’re less likely to carry around in your purse or bag on your way to work. Miro Airborne is the last creation of Vision Research. The manufacturer is usually creating high-speed digital imaging systems and the camera launched today is another example of its work. The Miro Airborne is designed to withstand extreme conditions around airborne applications.

The CMOS sensor features a resolution of 800×600. At maximum resolutions it will record 1,250 frames per second while at reduced resolutions it will give you some 111,000 fps. Impressive right? The shutter has speeds of as low as 2 microseconds which means the camera can freeze objects in motion, eliminate blur and enhance details which indicatie motion. The camera has a 2GB intern volatile memory for fast writing and there’s a CompactFlash spot used for saving all shot images.

The camera comes with a trial version of Image Systems’ Tema Starter for Phantom motion analysis software. Sounds too complicated? It might just be. You can track up to three targets and calculate velocity and acceleration. Cool ha?

The camera retails for $45,000. As I said, not your everyday camera here!
