A smaller and lighter version of the 4K variable-frame-rate camera launched in 2012 by FOR-A was said to be at NAB 2015. It’s American debut! The forthcoming FT-ONE-S.
The FT-ONE-S will match its predecessor in many regards, but it falls short of the earlier camera’s blistering high frame rate recording of up to 900fps at 4K resolution. That’s one good reason why the existing FT-ONE and fiber-optic-enabled FT-ONE-OPT will remain on the market. But it goes to show that, now that 4K has established itself in production, cinematographers are demanding more compact cameras that can fit into tight spaces or on highly mobile rigs, including drones, as alternatives to bulkier models that maximize performance.
