5,000 fps camera

'For the NLCS and World Series, however, FOX supplemented its trio of standard v642s with a pair of custom-built rigs from Inertia Unlimited of Jacksonville, VT. Dubbed the X-Mo, this system is comprised of a v642 modified to shoot in full HD up to 5,000 fps. The camera uses a 2.3-foot long, 35-pound, $26,000 Canon Sigma 200-500mm "SigZilla" lens, and a Telecast Copperhead 3400 fiber optic transceiver.'

I have been enjoying this very much.

i never realized the bat bent on impact.

the potential of this camera in golf and football is scary.

there will be competitors on other networks to even outdo this incredible technology.

problem with slo-motion in baseball is that it takes a really boring game and makes it last longer. I just watched 9 innings with this camera. Took me 3 days.

Ever seen Test Cricket. Only game they play for five days, and still don't get a result.

sounds like a Monty Python routine.

Definitely great technology, but typical of Fox, WAY over-used.

Yeah, but to see a broken bat hit in super-slo is incredibly cool for right now. I'm not tired of it just yet.
