<\/p>\nThe Flexy offers significant advantages in deployments where a full camera unit would normally be at risk from damage, such as in rally or stock car races. Because the Flexy head represents just one-third of the total camera cost, it now is more economically viable for production teams to mount the lens in higher-risk areas, knowing that the ECU and its expensive processing components remain safely protected from harm.<\/p>\n
The company has chosen to use a standardized SMA connector and cable, enabling production engineers to engage in quick repair and replacement using equipment they likely already have at hand.<\/p>\n
The camera head itself is available in two form factors. The IP67-rated lipstick head measures just .75 inches (19mm) in diameter and 1.33 inches (34mm) in length (including SMA connector), while a square head option measures .75x.7.5x.94-inch (19x19x24mm) with an integrated micro coax cable. Both house a 1\/3-inch global shutter sensor with 12-bit dynamic range, delivering crisp 1080p imagery through Proton’s VEGA broadcast-grade image processor.<\/p>\n

The ECU measures 1.33 x 1.33 x .75 inches (34x34x19mm) and provides HD BNC for SDI output, a Hirose HR10 connector for power and control, an SMA connector for the Flexy head, and a 3.5mm stereo audio socket for external audio input. Power draw is just 3W across a 6.5-25V range.<\/p>\n
Flexy offers production teams access to a camera system that can be deployed in locations up to 32.8 feet (10 meters) from its processor, using standard coax cable, with a replaceable head that costs a fraction of the total system.<\/p>\n

“So many of our customers have said to us: \u2018We love what a Proton Cam can do, but it\u2019s a shame that they\u2019re too precious to us to risk in exactly the environments where they could deliver the best shots.\u2019 So, with the Flexy, we asked ourselves: What if the camera head could go anywhere, and where the risk of damage became a negligible concern?\u201d said company CEO and founder Marko Hoepken.<\/p>\n
