Hummingbird = classic slowmo fare. It's such a great way to display the camera's capabilites. I actually received a reply from Vision Research the other day. I don't have permission from them to print their entire price list, so I'll just give you an idea of the prices: The Phantom 7.2 used by Richard costs around $60,000-90,000+, depending on options. Prices range from $21,500 for the cheapest, to $200,000 and above for HD and film-res variants. Richard: Nice footage. Hummingbird = classic slowmo fare.

My company, Total Training, borrowed one last summer from Vision Research, and I was able to use it home for a weekend. Go here: http://www.otownmedia.com/he/film.htm and click on the Hummingbird 1000 and Hummingbird 2000 links to see the results. As for the price, we were never able to get a straight answer from the company about that - it seemed (at the time, anyway) that they were only positioning it as a rented or leased system, and weren't interested in selling it directly. Discussions with other users indicated that the purchase price would be $15-20K, but that was just speculation. It's a tricky system to use, and the interface software is clumsy at best, but it's capable of wonderful results, as you can see.
