Given the range of areas both military and civilian touched upon in the research departments of the armed services and in the commercial avionics sectors, covering each and every potential trial and the necessities for each is best handled in conjunction with a knowledgeable distributor (contact IDT for additional information), however certain guidelines can be followed.

If space is limited, or weight must be kept to a minimum, the N-Series is the best choice. For higher speeds or low light situations, the choice is among the N4 models, while the N5 serves best when fine detail trumps all. Examples of uses for which the N-Series is ideally suited include the mounting of cameras in or on an aircraft.

When duration is the key factor, the M-Series cameras become the only choice. Capable of continuous recording times in the minutes, these cameras are joined with off camera data banks and are ideal when entire operations, such as parachute drops, must be examined.
