Freefly Ember 5K High Speed Camera. A magical new way to capture high speed imagery. All new Sensor, Chassis, and App designed to go from capture to share as quickly as possible.

The Freefly Ember is designed to be the most efficient high speed camera ever. It’s small, light, and insanely fun 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 an internal SSD (either a 4TB or a 2.56TB high-endurance pSLC drive optimized for pre-record).*

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.
