Chronos 1.4, Everyone’s High-Speed Camera

The Canadian Kron Technologies, led by its founder David Kronstein, has just launched a brand-new camera: Chronos.

Chronos 1.4, Everyone’s High-Speed Camera
Chronos 1.4 is a purpose-designed, professional high-speed camera. It enables you to capture stunning high-speed video at up to 1280×1024 resolution thanks to its 1.4 gigapixel-per-second throughput. Its frame rate ranges from 1,057fps at full resolution, up to 21,600fps at minimum resolution.

David is an electronics engineer specializing in digital systems, FPGAs, and image processing. His passion for high-speed imaging began in 2006 since he was unable to afford a high-speed camera at the time. Starting from the belief that high-speed imaging should be for everyone, David wanted to disrupt the high-speed video industry with Chronos. Chronos is about 1/10th the price of similar professional camera ($25000), plus it has more features and better usability. Renting a traditional camera that has similar features for 2 weeks may cost you more than getting Chronos!

David started a campaign on Kickstarter for his amazing camera, check the campaign video
