Apollo 428M MAX Pro

Player One Apollo 428M MAX PRO

Key Features

• Sony IMX428 1.1″ CMOS Sensor (Mono):
  7.1 MP resolution at 4.5 µm pixels, 17.5 mm diagonal. In BIN2 mode, effective pixel size doubles to 9 µm.
• Global Shutter with Multiple BIN Modes:
  Base mode delivers 51 FPS at RAW8-BIN2 hardware boosts full well to ~100 ke⁻, enabling up to ~135 FPS (Mono8) or ~109 FPS (Mono16).
• High Dynamic Range & HCG Mode:
  HCG engaged at high gain (≥70) reduces read noise as low as ~2.4 e⁻; at lower gain ~5.5-1.4 e⁻.
• 2-Stage TEC Cooling with Anti-Dew:
  Maintains ΔT of approximately 35-40 °C below ambient, backed by builtin anti-dew heater.
• 512 MB DDR3 Buffer:
  Ensures smooth data streaming and minimal frame drops-even via USB 2.0.
• Carbon Fiber Construction & Tilt Plates:
  Lightweight (~420 g) design with both front 3-point and optional rear 4-point tilt plates plus shading sponge pad.

Why Choose This Product?

• Highest Resolution 1.1″ Solar Sensor:
  Even at BIN1 it delivers 7.1 MP detail; BIN2 mode boosts sensitivity and well depth to match IMX432 spec.
• Flexible Imaging Modes:
  Hardware BIN2 supports up to ~135 FPS or lowered noise operation under HCG mode (≥70 gain).
• Stable Thermal & Data Performance:
  Efficient TEC cooling and generous buffer memory enable consistent capture even with solar filters.
• Well-Balanced Design:
  Lightweight carbon-fiber construction, tilt control, and anti-glow design support serious solar workflows.
