Flea®3 (IEEE 1394b)

The fully redesigned, next generation Flea3 camera 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.

Model availability: Refer to the Specifications tab for model availability.
