Freefly Ember S5K (4TB)
Capture high-resolution, high-speed 5K drone videos with the Freefly Ember S5K camera. The compact S35 camera is designed for continuous high-speed recording and is small enough to fit under a drone. The Gpixel S35 sensor captures up to 5K resolution at 600 fps or up to 4K800 to capture clear high-speed, slow-motion video. The camera is equipped with a Sony E-mount for use with various standard lenses and has a global shutter.
The camera captures 10-bit ProRes format video on the internal 4TB NVMe SSD, which can record up to 36 minutes of video in 5K600 mode and up to 45 minutes of video in 4K800 mode. You can control the camera over Wi-Fi via an iOS app workflow, and there's also a 6-pin GPIO port to remotely control start/stop/sync functions. With the HDMI output you can monitor the image on a 1080p monitor.
Power the camera with a separately available battery via the included 4-pin Microfit to D-Tap cable. Numerous accessories such as handles, cheese plates and battery mounts can be added using the 1/4"-20 and M3 threads around the camera body.
