Phantom C321 Air

Phantom C321 Air

The C321 AIR leverages years of rugged application use in auto crash testing, where every test is critical. it’s designed to withstand harsh environments and repeatedly deliver high quality images. The C321 AIR offers:

  • A 10 micron pixel for high sensitivity in a small camera package.
  • A high frame rate at HD resolution and a low 1 microsecond minimum exposure time to truly capture the test event and reduce motion blur. Frame rates increase to over 94,000 fps with reduced resolutions.
  • 16GB of memory, CFast capability, memory partitioning and autosave allow multiple shots to be securely stored.
  • Programmable I/O to configure signals, as well as many other standard Phantom Features for flexible test capabilities.
  • Design to meet to MIL-STD 810H, 704, and 461 test standards.
