The Pixboom Spark fundamentally redefines accessibility to high-end, extreme slow-motion cinematography. Historically, capturing ultra-high frame rates meant relying on high-cost, heavily specialized systems that required dedicated support technicians and complex setup. The Spark dismantles these limitations, offering a far more accessible and easy-to-operate alternative. It delivers breathtaking frame rates—up to 670 fps in 4.6K Open Gate, 887 fps in 4K, and a staggering 1724 fps in 2K—within an exceptionally compact form factor that integrates seamlessly into standard professional workflows, completely removing the need for a large, specialized support crew.

At the heart of the Spark is a 14.2MP Super 35 format BSI (Back-Side Illuminated) sensor featuring a true global shutter, eliminating rolling shutter artifacts and ensuring flawless geometric rendering of fast-moving subjects. Crucially for high-speed work, this sensor utilizes Dual Native ISO to deliver a consistent 13 stops of dynamic range even in low-light environments. This drastically reduces the massive lighting footprints traditionally required for high frame rate capture, allowing DOPs to shoot dynamic slow-motion in a wider variety of practical and location-based setups.

For the camera department, the Spark is engineered for relentless on-set efficiency and fast setup times. Weighing in at just under 1.1kg, the aluminum unibody seamlessly incorporates an integrated V-Lock battery plate and a daylight-viewable 3.5-inch touchscreen monitor, completely bypassing the need for cumbersome external adapters. Available from us in either PL or Sony E-mount, the system utilizes proprietary 2.5TB 20Gbps SSD media for unlimited, continuous Pixboom RAW recording, finally removing the frustration of 6-second RAM buffer limits. Packed with practical features like a 2-second Pre-Record buffer, in-camera anamorphic de-squeeze, and professional I/O including 6G-SDI, the Spark is an incredibly capable and highly accessible centerpiece for motion control setups, tabletop workflows, or dynamic vehicle rigging.
