Can't wait to see more future videos with the new FullHD Chronos. 👌👍

[@orion4480]

I have been with your channel since the beginning. Love the content, and how you and your wife "compete" when guessing if something will explode or not. Keep up the good work!

[@xenonram]

Forgot to insert the ISO of the sensors

[@planetrob555]

Yeah, you didn't add the information to the description, you just linked to them. Say what you mean!

[@andie_pants]

I appreciate your disclosure at the beginning. I value integrity over anything else in a person.

[@Beyondthepress]

We have one of the best slow motion clips coming on next Sunday's Smashinator 5 000 000 Vs. Frozen Lake video :D Everything didn't work exactly like planned with machinery and the whole thing is just excellent :D

[@gus473]

Tomorrow, or a week from tomorrow...?🤔

[@Beyondthepress]

@@gus473 I just realized that I had mistake there. It's this week's Sunday

[@RobertSzasz]

I dont remember if the smashinator has a fixed anvil, but seeing if it could drive a cold chisel through the ice in a single blow would be neat.

[@WoodworkerDon]

Will this be the one with the "Professional Woodworking" frame? 🤣🙈😹👍

[@philipwebb960]

Oooh, can't wait!

[@0815Wusel]

I like to see how you two went through an evolution over the years - from hobby over semi pro to professional Entrepreneur.

[@bobafruti]

Interesting fact 2.1 gigapixels/sec is also the same as 8k video at 29.7fps.

[@taofledermaus]

Good review. I've been wanting to see a side by side comparison.

[@Beyondthepress]

I think monochrome 2.1 would be absolute killer for the shotgun stuff. I can do comparisation with all 4 cameras when I get the monochrome 2.1 camera here. But monochrome is twice as good as color in terms of low light and sharpness compared to color and then 2.1 needs probably 4 times less light to get similar picture than 1.4. So when you combine those two it should be pretty good.

[@Saareem]

I remember that when Chronos first launched, you and Taofledermaus were probably the first KZbinrs to ever get your hands on one of them. It was awesome then but just like you, Chronos has gotten so much better during the years. Much more professional at the very least. 😄

[@alpinewonders]

good review of an interesting camera; I enjoyed it from start to Finnish

[@ljre3397]

You’re English is getting better buddy. Thanks for all the videos.

[@MassimoTava]

Large sensor should be the main selling point. Tamron also makes some nice APS-C lenses.

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

Tameron makes some great lenses at excellent prices .

[@audiokaos4703]

The day's highlight- Thanks!

[@Joe12360]

The picture quality is much better with the new version but that lens means the depth of field is considerably reduced. It’s very apparent when comparing the blurriness of the rear edge of the lower press tool. This will make stuff flying at an angle towards/from the camera blurrier much quicker than with the old setup.

[@markfergerson2145]

Yeah, I noticed that too, it's especially visible in the billiard ball comparison video. The pieces moving to the right at the beginning and across the left front of the lower tool later are good examples of what you describe.

[@userPrehistoricman]

He probably just had the aperture wide open. Not a fault of the lens.

[@charlesalexander4156]

amazing, stuff. Have you tried putting a speedbooster on the camera to gain some extra light and FOV?

[@caseybachmeyer]

thanks a lot for sharing! But, how can i set the aperture on the sigma lens? Is it even possible to adjust? Thanks a lot

[@johntheux9238]

The snapdragon 865 is a beast, with 2 gigapixels per second it has the same pixel throughput than chronos 2.1 I hope that we can take the same shots with our phones next year.

[@j.howardj]

I think you may be limited by software and the lens though.

[@DaveBowman345]

Still love your slo-mo sequences. Some of them are just plain beautiful. 👍

[@j.howardj]

Can the 1.4 and 2.1 be used like a mini chronos ring? Or do you need two of the same camera?

[@natrix]

16:20 there are some weird lines on the right and left side of the frame. Is that your set or that the image coming off the camera?

[@stuartbrowne3358]

Hi loving your vids, fun and informative, HELP, I was wondering if I could ask you a question, I am running a ballistic testing company in the uk and we have resently purchased the B/W chronos 2.1 to capture the effects of a rounds penetrating different materials, the camera is hooked up to a pc via ethernet cable to control the camera, which is 25meters away form the pc, all was well until quite recently I am now finding I have no control over the camera on the pc, I have a feed showing what the camera is seeing but cannot change any of the settings like exposure, digital gain, analog gain, resolution, link to the cameras saved video's or record, have you come across this problem before, and maybe have a solution, any help would very much appreciated, cheers Stu

[@eric.is.online]

Can you increase capture time by moving data out of RAM using the gigabit ethernet?

[@edwardgerardgo5573]

How long did it save the 2 full resolution per second in terms of minutes. Thanks

[@irfansa6912]

Heloo, Is the Chronos able to capture propeller test cavitation?

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

Do they adapt to canon lenses ? We have a few canon lenses , one of which is the wonderful 70-200 f2.0 .

[@SpandanMaikapMPTFE]

i have big time doubt of the type of lenses that could be used in this camera, for example does F mount means I can mount AF nikkor lenses too?

[@modrobert]

Thanks, good review.

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Great video and information Lauri, thank you! May you, Anni, your family, and friends be safe and healthy!

[@capncharlie7894]

great video thanks!

[@bellluna9017]

From the look of the thumbnail. "Crushing Cronos Camera".

[@Stoddy2k]

What have you done with Anni.

[@WoodworkerDon]

That new big-boy lens is sweet.👍

[@mullervolker9814]

thanks for content right now

[@lingxiao9126]

for commercial food video photography, which is wiser choice of Chronos1.4 or Chronos2.1? Who would like to share some ideas? THX

[@drstefankrank]

Did you consider using fixed lenses like the 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 or the longer 85mm versions? The old manual ones are pretty affordable and they have excellent picture quality.

[@Beyondthepress]

Yes I did but when filming with high speed cameras you end up switching the resolution quite often to get more/less fps. And that results change of crop factor so then you would have to always move camera also making everhthing quite slow. I am really pleased with these lenses only negative things are price and size

[@drstefankrank]

@@Beyondthepress Indeed, a zoom is handy in that situation. These are some fine lenses.

[@bubbajenkins123]

I have a birthday coming up. I will add this kamera to my wish list. Unfortunately when my wife buys it for me it will come from my money. But it is the thought that counts, right?

[@DeFausti]

Why do you need a 5k high speed camera?

[@WoodworkerDon]

Yes, Bubba, it's the thought that counts. And the CAKE. 🎂👍

[@RolandAshcroft]

I know the 1000t press is not happening since years , but what happened to the Chronos ring series ?

[@Beyondthepress]

We have still some videos coming from that are filmed and maybe we are going to film more later this year

[@larryscott3982]

The billiard ball was surprisingly interesting. More so than a violent explosion. Lot of little things happening.

[@Jelly17171]

hello everyone can you guys help me, is there any websites for used chronos cameras. I don't have enough budget for a new one so I'm looking for to buy a used or rent it for some time (I'm in europe)

[@JRSiebz]

But which one is hardest to crush?

[@Sunlight91]

KZbin video compression eliminates a lot of details. At 1080p I only see a very small difference. At 2160p Chronos 2.1 is clearly better. Even if your monitor can't show 4k, the higher video bitrate still improves the image significantly.

[@Beyondthepress]

KZbin is also working now just with 720p on some countries to limit internet usage

[@MrPaw45]

@@Beyondthepress It's not even HD 720p

[@gus473]

😅😂🤣 15:20! Great technology, well used! 👍😎

[@danielakrestel]

so cool

[@javadkhusro]

What are the ISO numbers for the cameras?

[@Beyondthepress]

Base ISO is 500 for color one and 1000 for monochrome

[@lukaskortmann3359]

Greetings from a fellow Chronos user! Have you tried the higher framerates at lower resolution? If you end up renting one of the more expensive high speed cameras again, it would be cool if you could shoot some comparisons with the Chronos, both at Full HD and at faster framerates. For focusing I recommend printing out a Siemens star en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_star and focusing on that, it makes it much more obvious when you are in focus.

[@zvpunry1971]

What has happened on the camera screen at 10:51? You have to pause the video and navigate with the , and . keys frame by frame. It is the first frame after the above mentioned timestamp.

[@Saareem]

It's the focus peaking feature he mentions. It essentially highlights sharply focused areas on the picture.

[@alphasails2]

I expect better mayhem video with the 2.1. 😁👍

[@nanolfo_]

Nice :D

[@4gauge10]

Will it record in 4K though Lauri??.

[@xenonram]

No. He said 1080p. It's only 1000 fps in 1080, so it wouldn't be fast enough for 4k. (Less than ¼ of 1080)

[@4gauge10]

@@xenonram ok,I see.

[@kirkc9643]

15:28 That's gold!

[@Eckstuhl1]

To get less bluriness in the edges it would be better to increase ISO and shut down the lens-opening a bit. This will reduce quality for more visibility. This is a general thing about photography.

[@RandomTask]

Good deals available on products named similar to the virus. Beer and high speed cameras apparently.

[@ThePuliUkko]

Have to say that old camera is pretty good too..

[@jimsvideos7201]

Five thousand, quality like that, uses common recording media and lenses? Nice!

[@kirkc9643]

You should also check out the creator's microwave oven steam explosions on his channel tesla500. Some of the best youtube destruction I've seen

[@BlackWolf42-]

What could I expect to pay for a well kept, used 1.4 (without any glass)?

[@userPrehistoricman]

There's a section of the forum where people sell these. I'd expect somewhere in the $2k region.

[@deborahpetith8710]

Way cool guys, big thumbs up!

[@perkele1989]

You didnt put the ISO numbers

[@cricketshine1160]

Record a sneeze.

[@enormhi]

Bit weird to have a paid review

[@Beyondthepress]

I didnt come up with any other title idea 😀 and this is not exactly paid, I think quite many channels got review cameras that they can keep but I just wanted to be open about situation

[@mduckernz]

It would be if they didn't actually use this camera and the model preceding it... But they have for years, and have a good relationship with the maker. I think it's a good thing tbh
