Photron FASTCAM Mini R

This new generation of the popular FASTCAM Mini series with a proprietary 4K/ UHD sensor is ideally suited for applications where observation of a large spatial area without loss of image quality is required – applications such as automotive safety testing (car-to-car, pedestrian testing, barrier/ roll-over testing and curtain airbag), fluid dynamics (PIV, microfluidics) material testing (DIC, drop testing) are some of the main applications for this product.
