Conventional Workflow

With Ember you simply press the record button, roll as long as you like, then share your best shots right from the app, unlike cameras like the Phantom, which have a different workflow, though it only captures ProRes and won’t capture 4K RAW.  This is the tradeoff that makes Ember work for storage rates, image quality, and editing performance.

Ember was designed to be an efficient high speed camera, being small, lightweight and easy to use.

Ember is unique in that it can record continuous high speed footage with no ram based clip limit since it records directly to a 4TB internal SSD.

Shooting high speed is now just like shooting anything else, push record to start and stop, and Ember captures everything to solid state memory – as simple… as that.

The Ember app for iOS means you can go from capture to sharing in seconds.
