High tech Camera?

[NHRAMike]

On Friday I noticed that there were a ton of photographers gathering around some high tech camera around the 100' area. I snapped a few pics, and I wonder if any Maters know what this is.

Mega Mo? (High Speed Imaging)

Could it be.... http://red.com/

I hope so, that would mean the thieves didnt slow them down that much.

I think it's probably the Mega Mo, but it looks like it tossed the blower belt.

May be its a HDTV Cam? You know may be ESPN2 is trying it out at NHRA as the races are always after golf and tennis and poker and spelling bee's, etc...etc and to late at night. They have time to patch things up and use a old camera!

Could it be.... RED Digital Cinema

That was going to be my guess but I would have guessed 4 zillion per second super slow mo !

Didn't they use an ultra-High speed camera at some races last year? I mean like 600 fps!

Is it just me or is it the fake Supercharger body covering a hillarious disquise?
