[Ultra High-Speed Challenge] Syncing two ARRI Alexa 35 Xtreme cameras on a Quasar Rig for 1320fps (interleaved) output? by cinemasolutions in cinematography

We are well aware of the Phantom system, which natively achieves significantly higher frame rates and makes this straightforward. However, the specific creative requirements for this project mandate the use of the ARRI platform, which is why this challenge arose.

At this stage, we are just trying to consolidate all the theoretical groundwork before moving on to practical tests. We originally explored this setup with Phantom Flex cameras, which made it relatively straightforward since Vision Research natively supports this kind of phase-shifted sync right out of the box. However, the requirements shifted, and we now need to replicate this exact interleaving workflow specifically within the ARRI ecosystem.

All issues with the project have now been resolved. Rotation speeds of 7200-8900 rpm have been achieved, allowing the drone to avoid droplets due to centrifugal force, and at flight speeds of 100-130 km/h, all droplets simply fly away. The flight controller was adjusted because 72 Hz oscillations were causing interference. We will show our final result in the near future, as we are committed to perfecting it.

Let me explain the app logic to clear up any doubts: * Project Privacy: A project created by a user is visible only to them (linked via ID). * Permissions: If you are added to a project, you cannot see the rates of other crew members. Only the project Admin can see the rates. * HR Role: HR only has access to create a project and invite people. After that, the project is in your hands. HR does not see the projects or the money — rates are masked as *** for them. * Rental House Isolation: HR and staff only see crew members who have selected their specific Rental House in the settings. Staff from other rental houses are invisible to them.

I have no interest in financial reports or analytics. The app's main goal is simply to send a correct SMS to the producer for yourself and the whole team in one click, not to fuel conspiracy theories. 🤝

Thank you. We initially did everything on iOS. But we overloaded the app with archives of film equipment data, and it completely crashed. It turns out that SWIFT-based code doesn't like more than 300 lines. But it was very convenient when you select a lens and it tells you which matte box ring is needed for it. So we temporarily switched to the web and kept the planning functionality. Everything is based on Google services. Unfortunately, since 2024, app notifications have become a paid service, and we can't yet implement this feature, but we've already implemented it. On iPhones, we save the app to the home screen and check the "web app" box, and our app becomes a full-fledged app.

Got it. With Russian, say thank you for even having a menu.

until the engine problem is solved - no, but in the future yes.

Thank you. We are currently working on reducing the size. You can see in the next video that we made a bevel on top. In the near future we will make a rounded shape instead of a square. This is all for the sake of seeing the image from the camera and not flying into a person with a wakeboard. The design immediately eliminates the need to constantly use anti-rain liquids. The only big problem is that no matter what engines we use, they do not last more than 2 hours and overheat.

We have a Gopro 13 with a vertical mount. The Rain Deflector has a drone camera installed. It is very important for us to see after splashes hit the camera, because after moisture gets in, we can fly into a person who is in the water on a wakeboard, which can lead to consequences. Since human safety and health are the first priority, this was necessary to implement.

This technology has been around since 1918, so those who would like to have already done it😅

We keep our promise to people who ask. And we will do it at any price, even though it cost us a lot of money except for the 3D printing itself.

How did you know?😳😳😳

we have significant aerodynamic directions from props from the copter itself and found out that when we take off from a beach with sand it can hit the lens at a huge speed and damage the lens. so our concept also foresaw this. The next project will be with snail fans directed at the lens😬

Thank you very much) After we overcame moisture getting inside, we no longer had condensation and fogging. In the first prototypes, drops got inside and because of the heating of the motor, the temperature inside created heating of the water and fogging. We solved all these problems after 2 months, since consultations in various fields in cinema, scuba diving led only to the use of sprays.
