Stingray F-145
Stingray – Versatile FireWire camera
Last time buy: 2024, August 31 | Last time shipment: 2026, August 31
Stingray F-145 with Sony ICX285 runs 16.0 frames per second at 1.4 MP resolution.
The Stingray offers a particularly wide range of functions and image optimization options – for example, shading correction and low-noise binning mode. Thanks to its modular and flexible design, it is a particularly versatile high-performance camera for a wide range of applications. It is also available in board level and compact versions. Extreme distances can be bridged with the optional optical fiber interface.
