Freefly Ember S5K
The Freefly Ember S5K is a high speed cinema camera built for commercials, product films, motion control work and specialist shoots where extreme frame rates are needed without giving up image quality. Available for rental in Berlin, it combines a Super 35 global shutter sensor with recording up to 5K at 600 fps and 4K at up to 936 fps, making it a strong option for productions that need high speed capture in a compact and relatively fast workflow.
What makes the Ember S5K especially interesting is its focus on practical high speed production. It records 10 bit Apple ProRes, offers internal SSD recording, supports continuous recording and can be triggered with custom pre and post roll settings, which is particularly useful for action based shots, tabletop work and situations where precise timing matters. The camera uses an Active EF mount and Freefly positions it as a simpler and more integrated alternative to more complex high speed systems.
Compared to more traditional cinema cameras, the Ember S5K is less about general purpose production and more about speed, timing and specialised capture. Its global shutter sensor also makes it attractive for fast motion, practical effects and technical shots where rolling shutter artefacts can become a limitation. For productions looking for a high speed camera rental in Berlin that stays compact and efficient on set, the Ember S5K offers a very distinctive toolset.
