"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."

The two Mini UX models provide 1.3-megapixel resolution (1280 x 1024 pixels) with frame rates up to 2,000 fps for the Mini UX50 and 4,000 fps for the Mini UX100. Both models are available with optional memory capacities of up to 32GB, allowing extended recording times and increased flexibility.


Thanks to innovative CMOS sensor technology, the FASTCAM Mini UX offers high sensitivity from a small pixel sensor (10 µm pixel pitch) by using micro-lenses to effectively increase the fill factor. At maximum resolution, the sensor is compatible with widely available 1-inch C-mount lenses, with options for small, lightweight, durable macro lenses with high apertures.


The FASTCAM Mini UX is ruggedly designed for use in environments with high shock and vibration. The compact camera (120 mm x 120 mm x 93 mm) weighs only 1.5 kg. This compact and durable design makes the FASTCAM Mini UX ideal for both onboard and offboard automotive safety testing, as well as many other applications requiring a small form factor and compatibility with standard optical systems.


Standard features of the FASTCAM Mini UX include a Gigabit Ethernet interface for reliable system control and high-speed data transfer to a PC, along with the capability to remotely turn off the cooling fan to eliminate vibrations during high-magnification recording.
