This is a great demonstration of slow motion, high definition and color.
Enjoy!

Gav and Dan repaint the garden the only way they know how… With slow motion explosions! Filmed at 1600fps with a Phantom Flex.

Bubble Bursting At 18,000 FPS
The Slow Mo Guys capture bubbles bursting in super slow motion.
Enjoy!
In the slowest video they have ever done, Gav and Dan slow down the moment a bubble pops by over 700 times. This is the first time we’ve used the Phantom v1610 which shoots at 18,000fps at 720p.
This camera is absolutely mental!
Cheetahs On The Edge
Amazing video!

Cheetahs are the fastest runners on the planet. Combining the resources of National Geographic and the Cincinnati Zoo, and drawing on the skills of a Hollywood action movie crew, we documented these amazing cats in a way that’s never been done before.
Using a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second while zooming beside a sprinting cheetah, the team captured every nuance of the cat’s movement as it reached top speeds of 60+ miles per hour.
The extraordinary footage that follows is a compilation of multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming.
Slinky Magic
Do try this at home!
Take a Slinky or a generic version thereof — the bigger, the better. Find a balcony or window a few stories above ground, making sure that outside, there aren’t any passersby coming. Dangle the Slinky out the window until it is mostly still. You’ll want the other end of the Slinky to be about half way to the ground — if it isn’t, go up another few stories. If you have the required distance, count to five and let the Slinky go.
The top will fall. The bottom will wait until the top gets there.
Don’t have a Slinky handy? Or can’t get to a third story window? Watch the video below (or check out this animated gif):
See? The top falls. The bottom waits.
What’s going on here? The Slinky comes with a small, barely visible jet pack which allows– no, wait. It’s just physics, even if counterintuitively so.
Let’s start with gravity. Drop something — a ball, your cell phone (which certainly happens all too often), a Slinky, or anything, and gravity will start to pull it down. That’s pretty straightforward. It’s why the top of the Slinky immediately falls once released, and it’s why we expect the rest of the Slinky to fall as well. But that’s not the only force acting on the Slinky. There’s also the tension in the spring.
From the perspective of the Slinky’s bottom, the tension is an upward force. Literally, the tension is pulling the bottom of the Slinky back up toward the top. When you are holding the top end of the Slinky, tension is what keeps it from unraveling entirely and falling to the ground as it stretches and dangles. When you drop it, the spring’s tension doesn’t just disappear, It’s still there and, in this case, pulling up at the same rate that gravity is pulling it downward. So the bottom stays in place as the Slinky compresses.
But in the end, gravity wins. When the top and bottom meet, the tension goes to zero, and the bottom of the Slinky joins the top in its descent back to the ground.
