FASTCAM Mini AX200 COMPACT HIGH--SPEED CAMERAS Outstanding Light Sensitivity in a Benefits Compact Package The Photron FASTCAM Mini AX200 camera provides very high frame rates, extraordinary light sensitivity and superior image quality in a compact, lightweight and rugged camera design. Providing 1,024 x 1,024 pixel resolution at up to 6,400 frames per second (fps) and reduced resolutions to 900,000 fps, the Mini AX200 delivers the performance required for very demanding industrial, military and laboratory applications. With light sensitivity of ISO 40,000 monochrome and ISO 16,000 color (using the ISO 12232 Ssat standard), the FASTCAM Mini AX200 has better sensitivity than most, if not all other high-end high-speed cameras. Higher light sensitivity means that less additional lighting is required to capture a high-speed event. It also means that faster frame rates, shorter shutter speeds and greater depths of field are provided under equivalent lighting conditions. Contained within a 120mm x 120mm x 94mm camera body weighing just 1. 5kg, the FASTCAM Mini AX200 is uniquely suited for use in a wide range of applications. The camera is designed for operation in high shock and vibration environments, allowing it to be utilized in automotive crash test facilities and on military test ranges. Target applications include: •Biomechanics •Life sciences •Material sciences •Onboard and offboard automotive safety testing •Defense and aerospace research •Fluid dynamics / PIV [www. p hot ron . com](www. p hot ron . com) Performance examples: • 6,400 fps @ 1,024 x 1,024 pixels • 10,000 fps @ 896 x 768 pixels • 20,000 fps @ 512 x 512 pixels • 50,000 fps @ 384 x 256 pixels • 100,000 fps @ 256 x 160 pixels • 200,000 fps @ 128 x 96 pixels • 900,000 fps @ 128 x 16 pixels Self-contained, compact and lightweight camera 120mm (4 . 7") H × 120mm (4 . 7") W × 94mm (3 . 7") D excluding protrusions, and 1. 5kg (3 . 3lbs) Sensitivity: ISO 12232 Ssat standard • ISO 40,000 monochrome • ISO 16,000 color Suitable for operation in High-G environments.

FAQs

What maximum frame rate and resolution does the FASTCAM Mini AX200 support?

The Mini AX200 reaches up to 6,400 fps at 1,024×1,024 pixels, and higher reduced-resolution modes up to about 900,000 fps at 128×16 pixels.

How does the ISO light sensitivity specification improve shooting high-speed events?

With ISO 40,000 monochrome and ISO 16,000 color (ISO 12232 Ssat), the camera can capture events with less additional lighting, enabling faster frame rates, shorter shutter speeds, and greater depth of field under comparable lighting.

Is the camera suitable for environments with shock and vibration?

Yes. The design targets high shock and vibration conditions, including use in automotive crash test facilities and military test ranges, with operation tested to 100G and 6 axes.
