Awesome find thank you!

That was remarkable.

Wow, great find.

Incredible animals, incredible video.

Incredible video. Worth the time and effort to create I think.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the link!

So that was 3 1DX at 12fps timed just right to give 36fps?

I also can't get over the fact that the first 1:45 is only 2 actual seconds of running.

just amazing

thx 4 the link !

Great watch, thanks!

The guy in the VO says video footage was shot on a Phantom camera, he does not say which one or what fps but here is the product page http://www.visionresea​rch.com/Products/High-Speed-Cameras/

My educated guestimate fps would be 105 secs @30fps = 3150frames in 2 seconds so approx 1575 fps (so just a touch faster than the 1DX is capable of I think )


It's great footage, love the muscle movement that's visible.

Wow, that was so awesome! Does anyone know if the photographer's photos have been posted?

Notice how the Cheetah's head remains perfectly still/stable tracking its target while the rest of the body is literally flying through the Savannah (i.e. grasslands of Cincinnati!
