      The strobe flash isn't that consistent. These are cheap electronics not precision instruments. The proper way to film them would be to use professional photographic strobes that can be synced to the camera.

      I was reading the "About the Video" section in the project description and wondered:
      Would it be too hard to use a high speed camera that has fps that fulfill Nyquist's theorem wrt the strobe light used? Or maybe triggering the camera every time the strobe flashes???
