Phantom C980

The C980 is designed for applications where fine spatial detail and a wider field of view directly improve measurement quality. Its 8 MP, 4/3-inch BSI sensor captures more of the scene while maintaining the low-noise performance needed for demanding scientific and engineering work.

• High spatial resolution: 8 MP across a 22 mm sensor resolves fine geometry, dense particle fields and subtle structural detail.
• Wider field of view: The larger sensor captures more of the event in a single frame, reducing the need to compromise between coverage and detail.
• Low-noise imaging: BSI with correlated double sampling keeps read noise below 5 e- for cleaner data in difficult lighting conditions.

The C980 supports native Canon RF optics with electronic aperture and focus control through Phantom software, while adapter options extend compatibility to specialist and legacy lenses.

• Native Canon RF control: Electronic aperture and focus adjustment supports faster setup and repeatable optical configurations.
• Broad mount support: RF and C-mount housing variants are available, with M42 x 1.0, M42 x 0.75, EF and F-mount adapter options.
• Integrated system connectivity: Programmable I/O, 3G-SDI, IRIG-B timecode and RJ45 Ethernet support straightforward camera integration.

Despite its 8 MP sensor, the C980 retains the compact 9.6 x 9.6 x 6.8 cm C-Series body and weighs approximately 0.6 kg, making it suitable for benches, test stands, stereo systems and multi-camera installations.

• Flexible mounting: 1/4-20 and M4 mounting points on all faces simplify positioning in laboratory and industrial setups.
• Multi-camera synchronisation: F-SYNC and IRIG-B support coordinated stereo, DIC and other synchronised imaging systems.
• Integrated recording: 28 GB RAM, up to 63 multi-cine partitions and USB-A target storage support efficient capture and transfer.
• Active cooling: Designed for sustained operation, with quiet capture mode available when fan noise or vibration needs to be minimised.
