It does not take a second to catch a rat, to drop a cat, to blink an eye, to throw a pie. How do we know this? A Fastax camera, equipped with high-speed capabilities, tracks the motion and gives us accurate data within a milliseconds rate of speed. Fastax-tion is on a mission to show all the benefits of the high-speed camera, not just how long it takes to drop a cat, but the way it can benefit civilized life. Everything from missile testing, car safety demos, and popping popcorn are effective ways to use the high-tech equipment. In the 1960s, this was a phenomenal revolution in camera technology and is still used today for testing all around the world.
