The fully redesigned, next generationFlea3camera series builds on the success of the ultra-compact Flea2 by adding new Sony image sensors to the line-up and a choice of IEEE 1394b (FireWire) or GigE Vision digital interface. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 30 mm and weighing only 58 grams, the Flea3 has the same small, lightweight form factor as many industry-standard “ice cube” analog cameras. The Flea3 also offers a host of new features, including enhanced opto-isolated GPIO; an on-camera frame buffer; non-volatile user data storage; new trigger modes; and improved imaging performance. |

The following items are included in the Flea2 / Flea3 / Grasshopper / Grasshopper2 / Grasshopper Express / (1394b models only) Development Accessory Kit DEVKIT-01-0002:
Emissions and RoHS Compliance FCC / CE Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. RoHS / WEEE Compliance This product is RoHS and WEEE compliant. |
The new Grasshopper Express camera series features a completely new hardware
platform designed to accommodate a wide range of high speed Kodak and Sony image
sensors. The Grasshopper Express is housed in the same compact metal case as the
original Grasshopper. The camera also comes complete with a variety of new
features, including enhanced opto-isolated GPIO, new hardware trigger modes, and
improved imaging performance.
