Ember S5K

The Freefly Ember S5K brings a capability few cameras offer to immersive cinema: true continuous high-speed capture without the clip-length limits of RAM-based high-speed cameras. Its Super 35 global-shutter sensor shoots open gate at up to 600fps at full 5K resolution, and even higher — over 1,000fps — at reduced resolutions, letting filmmakers reveal wing beats, splashes, or explosive natural phenomena in extreme slow motion at a scale that rewards the giant screen’s ability to make imperceptible motion suddenly monumental. Because it records directly to internal SSD rather than a RAM buffer, productions can roll continuously for extended periods while waiting for unpredictable wildlife or natural events, rather than betting everything on a short pre-triggered burst. Its global shutter also eliminates rolling-shutter skew entirely — a meaningful advantage for fast pans and immersive formats where geometric distortion is amplified across a dome or wraparound screen.
