FASTCAM MINI W Series
The Photron FASTCAM Mini W5 and Mini W2 are compact, high-performance cameras designed to deliver
exceptional image quality, light sensitivity, and versatility in demanding research and industrial environments.
FASTCAM MINI W
MODELS W2 / W5
With resolutions up to 2,048 × 1,152 pixels, the FASTCAM Mini W5 captures images at 5,000 frames per second (fps), while the FASTCAM Mini W2 achieves 2,000 fps at the same resolution. For ultra-high-speed applications, these models can reach maximum frame rates of 200,000 fps (Mini W5) and 150,000 fps (Mini W2) at reduced resolutions. Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) performance is 5,280fps for the Mini W5 and 2,750fps W2 respectively.

High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Interface:
The FASTCAM MINI W5 / W2 cameras include a high-speed 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet Interface to provide reliable camera control and fast download of image data.
Dedicated I/O:
A dedicated BNC connection for a contact closure hardware trigger input supporting NO, NC opertion is provided. In addition, two programmable inputs and two programmable output channels provide direct connection for common tasks such as synchronization of multiple cameras and operation in conjunction with Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware.
Ruggedized Mechanical Calibration Shutter:
The ruggedized mechanical shutter is fitted as standard on all FASTCAM MINI W5 / W2 cameras, allowing sensor black balance calibration to be carried out remotely from the system control software.
Optional Canon Lens Mounts:
In addition to the standard Nikon G type and C-mount lens adapters, all FASTCAM MINI W5 / W2 cameras include support for an optional Canon lens adapter, controlled remotely. The EF lens adapter, through Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV), not only enables remote operation of lens focus and aperture but also adds Auto-Focus capability.
Support for the latest generation Canon RF lenses adds direct lens control of aperture and also remote operation of zoom* in addition to focus and aperture, essential for when the camera is to be located where access is limited.
*Supported lenses only, requires optional Canon Power Zoom Adapter
