Want to Buy: Swing Analysis Cameras

[Cactus Jack]

I would like to buy two cameras for my garage sim. Somthing in the 120 FPS range and for use with Swing Catalyst software. Thanks!

Contact Surfthing computers. They sell the Imaging Source cameras (USB).

I just upgraded to the imaging source cameras mentioned above they are very nice. High resolution and color requires A LOT of light. You will likely need to upgrade your lighting if you go imaging source and want the best picture.

If you are interested I could sell you my old Kayeton monochrome (black&white) global shutter USB cameras. They run 720P resolution at 120FPS. I have one with a standard lense for DTL and another with an upgraded fisheye lense for FO (only like 3.5 feet away from ball).

I will sell both for $100 shipped to US.

Frodaddy00, potentially interested if Cactus isn't. Couple of questions that might rule the Kayetons out... We do not have much light, are the Kayeton units OK with limited light? Separately, assume this doesn't matter but I'm not at all educated in the world of cameras, we'd use the fish eye lense for DTL and standard for FO, do you anticipate that would be a problem at all?

(you can contact kayeton directly if Jack is still there... jackwang@kayetoncctv.com)

someone already snatched up my FO cam I didn't realize it'd be so popular. The monochrome Kayetons are good for lower light settings. I first bought color ones but switched to monochrome and they performed much better in my lighting.

For posterity I'll provide more information on Kayetons. Sorry if this is clogging up the OP thread but I think its still relevant to the topic.

Here is the view angle of these lenses:
(standard lens) 2.1mm lens, horizontal view angle about 75degree,
15524 lens, horizontal view angle about 145degree,
1.7mm lens, horizontal view angle about 130degree,
1.39mm lens, horizontal view angle about 180degree, the image will have dark corner, because of 180degree.

The fisheye (15524) could be used for DTL or FO. It is best suited when you don't have much distance from the camera to the golfer.

I bought the 15524 lens for my FO Kayeton (both already sold) and the 1.7mm lens for my DTL Kayeton. I still have the DTL cam and the original 2.1mm lens as well. These lenses are interchangeable.

Great. Thx!

Here are some pictures of the Kayeton monochrome vs. imaging source dfk33ux273 (color) cams in FSX. Keep in mind the picture on the imaging source cams should get better when I upgrade my lighting. I also only run them at 120 FPS currently (old LED lights cause too much flicker when I set higher).
