We're going high speed! (Patreon)

I was up for 72 hours trying to get my basketball video done and posted before I had to do some traveling. I've now slept for a good 24 hours and have a suspicion if a doctor had been present they would have declared my sleeping corpse clinically dead. We're past that though, and I'm thinking about what's next! 

I'm pretty sure that the next frontier for me is crushing the baseball home run record with another iteration on my bat. More on the design thinking for that once I get a bit further on it. Right now let's talk about the camera I just ordered! A Chronos 2.1 with all the fixins'. My motivation for this is the following frame from testing my explosive baseball bat:

I guarantee that some of the most spectacularly mind blowing stuff is occurring within those blurred pixels! Unfortunately we'll never get to see it unless we can slow down time with a high speed camera. Now that I'm working on V2 of the bat, thinking about V2 of my golf club and am actively thinking about breaking the speed of sound, the pressure to get footage that I'm not embarrassed about is way up!

I've been putting off this purchase for quite some time given the cost. Once you add in lenses, lights, and other accessories the total cost is pushing $10K. This is largely coming straight out of my pocket, but your contributions are helping to take the edge off. Thank you! Having this camera will hopefully turn into real value for you with awesome footage and maybe we'll even learn some stuff by getting to see the world move slowly. 

It will hopefully be arriving in the next few weeks. I'm required by law to take lots of slow motion shots of random stuff upon receipt of the camera which I'll share here / on the discord if there is anything worth seeing!
