The cleanest data that $1k can buy

Specifically tuned for mocap

The Flex 13 is designed for motion capture from the ground up. From anti-reflective M12 lenses for increased light transmission to animation-friendly 120 FPS capture rate, every facet is tuned for mocap. We’ve even included our customizable Aim Assist button for simplified, single-user setup.
