Hi Andraz,

We've been happy with the AVT Mako series, it's about the same size as the BlackFly, a bit more expensive, but we've never had any issues with freezing etc. when running with aravisGigE. The one we have most experience with is the Mako G234B:

Thanks,
Tom

> 
> 
> Here are 2 examples:
> 
> 
> BFLY-PGE-13S2M-CS
> 
> 1/3 inch, global shutter, 1288x964 pixels
> 
> 3.75 micron pixels
> 66% QE, 11 e- read noise, 9339 e- full well
> 58 dB dynamic range
> 30 FPS
> POE
> $345
> 
> The following model has significantly better QE, read noise, and dynamic

> 
> BFLY-PGE-23S6M-C
> 1/1.2" sensor, global shutter, 1920x1200 pixels
> 5.86 micron pixels
> 80% QE, 7 e- read noise, 33105 e- full well
> 73 dB dynamic range
> 41 FPS
> POE
> $495
> 
> Either camera can be used with 3 areaDetector drivers:

> ADPointGrey (Windows, Linux RHEL 7 or higher) aravisGigE (Linux, most any
